The Master And Margarita

[coalescent]

The book that korovyov_x recommended to me arrived from Amazon this morning - The Master And Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov. Slightly battered in one corner, but I can live with it. I hadn't actually read anything about this book before I ordered it, I just did what I was told, and I haven't had a chance to start reading it yet - but this is what the blurb says:

In this imaginative extravaganza the devil, disguised as a magician, descends upon Moscow in the 1930s with his riotous band, which includes a talking cat and an expert assassin. Together they succeed in comically befuddling a population which denies the devil's existence, even as it is confronted with the diabolic results of a magic act gone wrong.

And here was I thinking the point of the exercise was to expand my horizons and get me to read non-speculative fiction...

I love you, Niall. But your filthy idling ways conflict me so.
