A great novella. Amusing but chilling by turns. Bulgakov was an extraordinary writer. I have seldom seen The Heart of a Dog chosen like this as part of a reading course.

It’s quite unnerving how it can be both funny and scary at once, isn’t it?

TMAM is one of my favourite books, truly a masterpiece…I love the line to live in magnificent defiance, thank you Henry.

That sounds terrifying. The only Bulgakov I e read is TMAM but I might give this a go.

Definitely worth reading! (And very short too.)
