Two words: fever dream.

Le Maître et Marguerite reminded me that some books need to be read slowly, to fully appreciate them. This was an insane book! The premise is the devil and his suite visiting Moscow, and doing what the devil does best: wreaking havoc! The book is dizzying, so sooo many names, stories, plots and subplots. When I reached the middle of the book I was starting to believe that I was done and that this madness would never end, but I carried on, and it did what every classic book does: it started revealing its incredible wit, beauty and masterful language.

Why read this book?
If you enjoy Russian literature and want to explore more of it and not just stick to Dosto and Tolstoy.
This book was banned and censored, and if it wasn't for Boulgakov's wife, it would have never existed.
It's a deep dive in the life under the USSR, so if you're interested in that era, you'll enjoy this.
