Black Snow - A Theatrical Novel - Thryft

Unique Theatrical satire shedding light on creative chaos.

This book is a must-read for anyone who is fascinated by the world of theater and appreciates dark humor. Through his sharp wit and clever storytelling, Bulgakov takes readers on a chaotic journey behind the scenes of a theater production. You'll find yourself immersed in the eccentric personalities, inflated egos, and the struggle to bring a play to life. Black Snow is an entertaining and insightful exploration of the complexities of art and the lengths people will go to achieve success.

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 brilliant satire on Mikhail Bulgakov's ten-year love-hate relationship with Stanislavsky, Method acting, and the Moscow Arts Theater. 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.
