Book Reviews of Heart of a Dog
Book Review: A Great Intro to Bulgakov
Summary: 5 Stars
Bulgakov entirely destroys the concept of Russian literature most of us got from college - dull, grey, plodding and intense. Instead, Bulgakov is witty, irreverent, fantastical and intensely colorful. The political implications of his works are so well intertwined with the stories that you can pay them intense attention or ignore them entirely as you choose. His plotlines are hilarious and just twisted enough to keep you guessing and surprised.While Master and Margarita is clearly his greatest work, Heart of a Dog is a brilliant short novel that provides a great introduction to not just Bulgakov, but to Soviet era Russian literature in general.
