In this episode of The Transatlantic Book Club, Nathan and Lee descend into the dazzling, demonic, and deeply satirical world of Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita.

Join us as we untangle this Soviet masterpiece and ask the questions you won't hear in any literature class, including:

• Why is Mikhail Bulgakov basically Steve Bannon?
• What does a little-known company called Nvidia have to do with any of this?
• What would we do if we went to Russia?
• Why isn't food about emotions? (Or is it?)
• Did Bulgakov write some accidental homophobia into his classic?
• And what is the most arrogant nickname you can give ourselves?

Tune in for a discussion that’s as chaotic and captivating as the novel itself.
