It's what convinced me that my boyfriend had good taste in women since his ex had recommended it to him.
Also, he grew up in communist Poland and explained several of the jokes to me that you only get with the historic background. Like the thing with the foreign exchange stores.
It was forbidden because it is a critique of communism. The cool thing is that in the communist countries many extremely gifted writers turned to fantasy and scifi because there it was easier to write some fantastic society or happening and then claim, but my story is just a sill little fantasy, nothing political.
If you like Bulgakow, you might also like scifi by the brothers Strugazki.
