PENGUIN CLASSICS : PENGUIN CLASSICS A DEAD MANS MEMOIR – MIKHAIL BULGAKOV-ANDREW BROMFIELD-KEITH GESSEN

This is Bulgakov s semi-autobiographical story of a writer who fails to sell his novel and fails to commit suicide. When his play is taken up by the theatre, literary success beckons, but he has reckoned without the grotesquely inflated egos of the actors, directors and theatre managers.
