Controversial fiction that made me laugh out loud. It took a little while to figure out what was going on, but the idea is simple enough. The humor is ridiculous at times and the timing and reading of the punch lines were hilarious. Then there is the tension in the story line where I found myself hoping that Hitler would make it through the trials and tribulations portrayed. That's probably not so great but it does provide a context to understand how the historical Hitler and Nazi party got away with the horrible mass murders that they committed. The fanatical abuse of power is a much more slippery slope than we like to think and in that respect this book is profoundly relevant, not because it portrays a monster as a monster, but because it portrays people believing the monster is outrageously funny and not seeing the threat he harbors.

Master and Margarita is a terrific novel published posthumously buy the brilliant Russian writer, Bulgakov. The performance by Julian Rhind-Tutt is exceptional as he brought all the characters, especially the hilarious Korovyev and Behemoth to mischievous life and with superb pacing and dynamics.

Mr. Noah's remarkable personal story growing up as a "colored" in South Africa is full of surprising revelations, humor, pain and grace.
