The #Aussie giving War & Peace a 'bogan' remake
"Just then, Prince Andrei rocked up to Anna's joint. He was the pregnant sheila's hubby. Like his missus, he was pretty good looking himself."
Those lines are straight from a new translation of Leo #Tolstoy's epic novel #WarandPeace, set in the world of Russian high society in the early 19th century.
Except this is a "bogan" version translated by #AnderLouis, the pen name of a Melbourne IT worker who moonlights as a writer.
He's poured a metaphorical can of Australian beer over the novel by converting Tolstoy's prose into a lingo that wouldn't sound out of place in the popular Aussie sitcom Kath & Kim.
