Black Snow, A Theatrical Novel, by Mikhail Bulgakov

You can see that I become a big fan of Mikhail Bulgakov. I like his wits and irony. I wish his complete works would be published in a beautiful collection edition one day.

This story is about how he wrote a play based on his first novel, and what happened in that pathetic theatrical world. Several times I can't help laughing out -- Oh, Bulgakov, you are so mean, but I love you.

The book was published by Simon And Schuster in 1967, with excellent translation rendered by Michael Glenny.
