Your background post is immensely helpful - I've never read any of the famous Russian literature works (it feels pretty daunting) but I'm excited to stretch my reading capabilities as I read along
This one has been on my shelf for several months and I'm looking forward to reading it under your guidance. The October group read of The White Guard wetted my appetite for more of Bulgakov's work - thank you, Cam.
It's great that you are introducing Master and Margarita to a wide audience! I remember I was called to the KGB once, and I was so afraid not only by the sudden call to this formidable organization, but in my purse was a banned Bulgakov novel, The Heart of a Dog. Bulgakov's plays were loved by Stalin so much that he saw them repeatedly. Stalin prohibited the publication of his novels but didn't let him leave Russia, playing with him like a cat with a mouse. Great success with your reading!

Excellent, Nico! I'm glad the post was helpful. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
I’m excited to find this group. I just added the book to my pile and wanted a way to understand it more comfortably.
Nice to have you with us, Kimberley!
