Sam fields questions regarding one of his favorite novels, The Master and Margarita, a concurrent odyssey into 1930's Soviet Russia and the city of Jerusalem as witnessed in the gospels. The host of memorable characters includes Satan, Jesus Christ and Pontius Pilate. Mikhail Bulgakov's brilliant narrative, with its elements of black magic, a bipedal talking cat named Behemoth and a Soviet brand of paranoia characteristic of the time certainly proves that dark satire doesn't get much better than this. Happy Birthday, Sam!
