The Master and Margarita (chs. 10-18) by Bulgakov

Major themes: Referential mania, a theoretical Margarita, Is the Soviet Man actually new?

Show Notes

This week, Matt and Cameron track the (alleged) Devil’s progress through Moscow through his debut at the Variety Theatre and beyond in Chapters 10-18 of Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita. Grab your hidden speculative currency and turn in to follow the aftermath of Woland’s arrival, his magic tricks, and — finally — the arrival of The Master into the plot.

Major themes: Referential mania, a theoretical Margarita, Is the Soviet Man actually new?
