Bulgakov's prose has a way of inviting his readers in on the joke - even when that joke is about specific directors in the theater scene of 1930s Moscow. I found this a pleasant read.

It is not only a reflection on me that I managed to read 30 or 40 pages of this book before realizing that I had read it before, more than fifteen years ago, translated under the title Black Snow. It is inconceivable that something similar could happen with even the first two paragraphs
