The Master and Margarita
- The interplay between the Pontius Pilate chapters and the Moscow storyline is incredible
- Bulgakov manages to be hilarious and deeply philosophical at the same time
- The character of Woland (the Devil) is one of the most compelling literary antagonists — he’s more of a mirror than a villain
- “Manuscripts don’t burn” — what a line
- The love story between the Master and Margarita is surprisingly moving given how chaotic everything else is
