Bulgakov does not simply have an obsession with the stars; he believes the stars are the ultimate measure of truth, and they outweigh the thought of individual existence (Edwards 180).
Bulgakov was often accused of writing novels with political intent, but most of the time, he was successfully able to mask his satire with profound language, allusions, and references (Edwards 145).
Bulgakov "present[s] the rebellious, uncompromising figure of the artist, and criticize[s] the abuse of the masses for their thoughtless acceptance of one man's or institution's vision of truth" (Lucas 1).

Bulgakov was one of the first generation of Soviet writers who flourished in the 20s, during the short lived Soviet Experimental movement, and then suffered horribly after the stregnthening of Stalin's regime.
Bulgakov skewers every Moscow bureaucrat and literary hack (unfortunately in the Stalinist era most of those who maintained positions of authority in literary circles were obsequious no-talents who mouthed party-line propaganda) that ever did him harm (and these were legion).
Bulgakov is the Soviet version of Imperial Russia's Dostoevsky, but unlike Dostoyevsky who had a mastery of the mind/soul Bulgakov mastery is in the literature of oppression.

Bulgakov's gentle irony is a warning against the mistake, more common in our time than we might think, of equating artistic mastery with a sort of saintliness, or, in Kierkegaard's terms, of confusing the aesthetic with the ethical.
Bulgakov always loved clowning and agreed with E. Hoffmann that irony and buffoonery are expressions of 'the deepest contemplation of life in all its conditionality'.
Bulgakov's portrayal of Moscow under Stalin's terror is remarkable precisely for its weightless, circus-like theatricality and lack of pathos.

Mikhail Bulgakov, a master of realism, used allegory in his science-fiction tales of mad professors and deadly rays to savage the Soviet regime.
Mikhail Bulgakov was born in Kiev in 1891.
Working at the Moscow Arts Theatre, Bulgakov wrote plays - one about Molière, who had to work, like him, under the eye of the censor - and a novel, Black Snow, which was dramatised and performed at the National Theatre in London not long ago: one of the funniest evenings at the theatre I remember.

His animal tendencies and criminal antics cause such an uproar in the city that its residents fail to see the miraculous outcome of the doctor's experiment because they are too caught up in his specimen's ignoble actions.
Bulgakov was a very serious man with a genuine talent for making a mockery of social convention.
As in The Master and Margarita, the masterpiece he completed shortly before his death, Mikhail Bulgakov's early novel, written in 1925, combines outrageously grotesque ideas with a narrative of deadpan naturalism.

 Rambles: Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master & Margarita   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Mikhail Bulgakov, with his witty cat and not-so-evil Satan, shows that Christian or atheist, existentialist or determinist, everybody's blind if they treat theory like dogma.
The entire novel jumps to life and is filled with such descriptive imagery you can't remember looking at words because all you see are the scenes.
At times the novel seems a bit campy, especially when Bulgakov speaks to his audience, but this is rare and is probably the product of Russian folklore.

 Mikhail Bulgakov - a guide to his writing
Apart from the relatively straightforward and restrained Checkhovian style of A Country Doctor's Notebook, most of Bulgakov's writing is characterised by a florid prose, full of rich images and startling metaphors.
A Country Doctor's Notebook (1925) With the ink still wet on his diploma, the twenty-five year old Dr Mikhail Bulgakov was flung into the depths of rural Russia which, in 1916-17, was still largely unaffected by such novelties as the motor car, the telephone or electric light.
How his alter-ego copes (and fails to cope) with the new and often appalling responsibilities of a lone practitioner in a vast country practice - in blizzards, pursued by wolves and on the eve of Revolution - is described in Bulgakov's delightful blend of candid realism and imaginative exuberance.
