Satirical backstage glimpse of Russian theatrical life.

If you're drawn to the intricacies of theater and enjoy a bit of satirical wit, "Black Snow" could be the perfect read. Bulgakov's personal experience with the Moscow Arts Theatre and his love-hate relationship with Stanislavsky's Method Acting bleed into this work, offering a unique, sharp commentary on the theatrical world that's both insightful and humorous. Through his masterful storytelling, you'll be transported backstage to witness the drama that unfolds not just on stage, but behind the curtains as well.

Description

A masterpiece of black comedy by the author of The Master and Margarita. When Maxudov's novel fails, he attempts suicide. When that fails, he dramatizes his novel. To Maxudov's surprise - and the resentment of literary Moscow - the play is accepted by the legendary Independent Theater, and Maxudov plunges into a vortex of inflated egos. Each rehearsal sees more and more sparks flying higher and higher, and less and less chance of poor Maxudov's play ever being performed. Black Snow is the ultimate backstage novel, and a masterly satire on Mikhail Bulgakov's ten-year love-hate relationship with Stanislavsky, Method acting, and the Moscow Arts Theater. This title comes with an introduction by Terry Gilliam. After a lifetime spent struggling against censorship, not least in the theater, Bulgakov died in 1940, not long after completing his masterpiece, The Master and Margarita. None of his major fiction was published during his lifetime.
