By Mikhail Afanasevich Bulgakov
Mikhail Afanasevich Bulgakov, 2014
After a literary editor saves Sergei Maxudov from a suicide attempt, the journalist and aspiring novelist finds his play accepted for adaptation at a prominent venue. This thrusts him into Moscow's competitive theatrical scene, a world rife with Soviet politics, censorship, and egomania. The narrative, characterized by dark humor and biting satire, draws from Bulgakov's own difficult experiences as a playwright.
