Bulgakov is funny. Quite the satirist. Really enjoyed this. Very simple language (taking into account that I read the translation by Michael Glenny). However the story was fantastic, and had me laughing out loud. I was lucky to temporarily have a Georgian (who speaks fluent Russian) flatting with me in Wellington and he was able to give me some solid background on the story (much needed).
Anyway, about to launch into his bigger novel - "The Master and Margarita". Having had a quick flick through it, it seems Bulgakov might flex his stylist muscles in this one.
