The Master and Margarita

"How about some weathered and tastefully austere selections from the used bookstore instead of that Barnes & Noble copy of Master and Margarita with a cover that looks like a webcomic."

"I created a podcast about literature and on the most recent episode I discussed Mikhail Bulgakov's *The Master & Margarita.* I talk about the historical context, how the book wasn't published until 26 years after Bulgakov's death, and important themes and quotes from the novel."
