Re-reading this while touring Russia, specially Moscow, was a treat and a luxury.

One of my top three favourite books of all time.
I love a good magical realism satire and this was crazy good! Everything from the parallels and deliciously trippy episodes, to the humour. As someone who writes and appreciates many forms of art, I particularly enjoyed the depiction of "true" art as something that could withstand suppression so long as the idea lives on, or as Woland would say:
"Manuscripts don't burn."

One of the most enjoyable reads of any classic. Full of what I can only describe as a dark whimsy. So incredibly witty and had me constantly laughing out loud.
Feel like I cant do this book justice in a review or summary until I venture in a re-read! All I can say is… Utterly enrapturing, humorous and larger than life
