It's been a few days since I finished this book and I still can't quite put my finger on what at all just happened. This is possibly the wildest story around, and yet is so accordingly captivating. There is clearly a lot of commentary on the communist Russia at the time Bulgakov was writing, and the context is even more interesting when you look at it from his artistic perspective. Anyways, point is I'm glad my friend Kat got this for me because it was like a breath of fresh air (albeit fresh air possibly laced with a lil bit of the devil's lettuce.. quite ironically so, considering one of the main characters in this novel)
