Greetings dramacels and !bookworms
As promised, today we are holding our first bookclub discussion thread. We’ll be discussing the first 7 chapters of “The Master and Margarita”, written by the late Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov, set in Stalinist Moscow .
I hope you have enjoyed these first chapters, I certainly did. Based on the numbers of pages read from chapters 1-7, next week discussion will be about chapters 8-17.
I know it was supposed to be at noon E.T. However I’m posting a bit early because I’m off for a family lunch in half an hour, and I don’t want to longpost there.
Have fun with the discussion!

One more note here is that Woland is heavily based on Mephistopheles from Goethe's Faust. This is why Woland is frequently called a german. Many of his lines are lines from Faust and there is also a random mention of a poodle which only makes sense when you know Mephistopheles first appears to Faust as a Poodle. (Ive only read Faust part 1)
