When I first read Bulgakov’s satirical masterpiece, it made me question how much we can know of good and evil. The novel begins when the devil arrives with his entourage in Moscow. The devil and his minions begin making all kinds of fantastic mischief. Meanwhile, from his psychiatric hospital bed, the Master is writing a retelling of the last days of Jesus. The Master’s lover, Margarita, decides to sell her soul to save him. The book is fun, funny, engaging and deep. There are scenes unlike any I’ve encountered elsewhere, like a ball thrown by Satan that has accordion playing polar bears providing the music for the fascinating, evil guests.
