★★★☆☆ | Literary Fiction | Print | Own | StoryGraph | Goodreads
A strange, strange book. So many Russian named-characters with small bit parts. So many references to Russian literature and culture that I failed to grasp. The story of the devil coming to Moscow to … what? Save the master who wrote a true story about Pontius Pilate? I am utterly confused. I’m giving this book three stars, but only because at times the story turned interesting. I still have no idea what this allegory represented.
