Product Description

Review

"The book is gentle in tone if fierce in substance."
-"The New York Times Book Review"

"Bulgakov is the first magical realist."
-Craig Raine, author of "T.S. Eliot"

Product Description

This is Bulgakov's semi-autobiographical story of a writer who fails to sell his novel and fails to commit suicide. When his play is taken up by the theatre, literary success beckons, but he has reckoned without the grotesquely inflated egos of the actors, directors and theatre managers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bulgakov at his best, July 5 2008

By Matthew R. Gardner - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Penguin Classics Dead Mans Memoir (Paperback)

This is such a great book that someone such as myself that had no interest in the theater or plays could not put it down. That is because this book is less about theater and more about people and living under oppression. Here is a biography of sorts on how a great work of writing can be buried under the weight of large egos, jealousy, and the soveit system. Yet this book dose not exclusivly apply to a period of time or place, it is made timeless through its superb use of memorable and realistic characters. This novel gives every reader the abailty to feel the pain of having ones best work destroyed before there very eyes and is highly recommened for people that have read any previous works of Bulgakov.
