It's kind of bittersweet having finally finished it after reading this for almost half a year (not even an exceptionally long book. Lord have mercy on me when I eventually read Karamazov). Like saying goodbye to an old friend. It is beautiful that Bulgakov was able to write something this magical in a time and place where magic was frowned upon. A very special, very singular book.
