An incredible fiction! Spent me only a few hours to finish it off but I was totally absorbed in the world so full of nonsense and absurdity Bulgakov displayed in his book. Just imagine a dog becomes more and more human after being on an operation of implantation of a dead man's testicles and pituitary gland, and even finds himself a job and citizenship (in the old Soviet society)!

Explore the absurd world yourself! :-]
