Psycho-religious thriller in true Russian style. Took half the book to figure out who was who and what was going on. Pretty enjoyable because of all the twists and turns. Many references were a bit opaque. Would be fun to sit down and read closely again and analyze for political dissent of Stalin's regime, under which Bulgakov suffered. Interesting to think that had it not been for Russian imperialism, Bulgakov would have been Ukrainian and his books somewhat cheerier.
