520    "A comic novel about the theater world in early Soviet 
       Russia and a "biting attack on censorship" (The Guardian, 
       UK). From the author of The Master and Margarita, this 
       semi-autobiographical satirical novel paints a vibrant 
       portrait of life behind the curtains of the Russian 
       literary and theater arenas in the early decades of the 
       twentieth century. Maxudov is a failed novelist who, after
       contemplating suicide, adapts his novel into a play 
       that'seemingly at random'is chosen to be produced at the 
       renowned Independent Theatre. As it so often does in 
       theater, chaos ensues'including bloodthirsty battles 
       between the show's two co-directors (modeled on 
       Stanislavsky, the famed inventor of Method Acting, and his
       co-director) over control of the production; near-constant
       drama brewing between the actors; and the playwright's own
       growing host of misgivings and insecurities about his 
       place in the theatrical community. With each rehearsal 
       turning more disastrous than the last, it becomes less and
       less clear whether Maxudov's play will ever be performed 
       at all "A masterpiece of black comedy." 'The Irish Times."
