The Critics say: '...by turns hilarious, mysterious, contemplative and poignant...a great work.'(Chicago Tribune) The Mind says: Mad book from under-pressure Russian. Presumably looking over his shoulder for Stalins' mob as he wrote, Bulgakov managed to squeeze in political analogy, literary references and surreal tangents as well as spiritual and philosophical ruminations. No wonder it took him eleven years to get it done. Useless fact: Inspiration for The Rolling Stones song Sympathy for the Devil. Tip: Make sure you get an annotated edition.
