They love it! It makes the novel less baffling for some of them, and reassures non-literature specialist readers, with apologies to Behemoth, that there's more than one way to skin a cat. It banishes the fear and enhances the fun of reading something as scary as a "cult classic." Review: Don't Be Afraid to Try This One - Bulgakov's Master and Margarita has the reputation in the US as a 'difficult read.' Nonsense! Millions of Russians have read it. Why not you? It is funny, mysterious, ribald and profound -- It's Alice in Wonderland, Russian Literature and the strangeness of life under Stalin rolled in a big ball. One of my all-time most favorite reads in the world.
