Theatrical Novel. To a Secret Friend

"Theatrical Novel" – an engaging, at times humorous, at times sad and tragic tale about the everyday life and behind-the-scenes of the most famous Russian theater of the 20th century – MCHAT, as well as about the fate of the... writer and his manuscript. There is no shortage of characters and events here! It is a peculiar chronicle of the "wanderings" of a young author (in which one can easily recognize Bulgakov himself and his play "Days of the Turbins") through theatrical and artistic Moscow. Among the people he meets are many famous writers, theater figures, and stage stars of the 1930s – from Alexei Tolstoy, Stanislavsky, and Nemirovich-Danchenko to Olga Knipper-Chekhova and Valentin Katayev. Do not be surprised, Bulgakov speaks very candidly about all these celebrities – this is his alternative view of them, but it makes it all the more interesting. The collection also includes the unfinished story "To a Secret Friend".
