This is a writer in a restaurant. She was writing a novel. I asked what it was about. She said it was called War and Peace and it was about the Russian aristocracy. I said somebody already wrote it. She looked shocked and said she hadn't heard.
I said maybe she should consider writing a book called Crime and Punishment that could be about some dude called, say, Raskolnikov who murders somebody, say, an old money-lending woman and later suffers from guilt and stuff. She said it sounded like an interesting premise and she would think about it.
I have half a mind to write Crime and Punishment myself, but there is no point if the writer in the restaurant has already written it.
