I finally read the Wikipedia entry for The Master and Margarita and was happy to see a comment about the brilliance of the book being that you can enjoy and interpret it on so many levels.
Do you think the obvious attack on the artistic elite combined with the absurdity of the plot channelled a kind of Dadaism? (Thanks for the references by the way Beppe).
If so, I like the double-edged attack - by lack of convention and by the plot itself. Clever.
The primus features quite heavily at the end and is the main destructive device - the apartment, the restaurant and the currency shop. Given its obvious import to Russian culture at the time, what do you think the significance is of it becoming Behemoth's weapon of choice?
