A thought-provoking story, especially after reading the author's history in the translator's introduction. It took a few chapters for me to get invested. As soon as the titular characters, Master and Margarita, showed up I didn't want to put the book down. It could have been done without the use of slurs, and the use of black people has nothing but slaves/objects to the story.

The homophobia tag is for that one of the characters has the alias f*ggot. From research I found that the word used in russian sounds like that but more accurately means buffoon, but I guess my edition translates it as that 🙃
