Industry Reviews
"He deployed almost every literary device in a tremendous effort to record the totality of an experience that he had lived through himself."
Survey - Michael V. Glenny (10/19/1967)
"In 'The White Guard,' despite the fogginess and illogicality of the world of the old intelligentsia, there is confidence nonetheless that outside the world all is chaos and emptiness. If it, the old intelligentsia, perishes--all perishes."
Soviet Studies in Literature - Anatoly Al'tshuler
"...infused with a passion for the old city and for its people that catches the reader up in its sweeping intensity...Hes characters have a classic universality that has kept them alive for half a century."
Chandler
"...[Bulgakov] unfurls great fictional canvases conjuring up the atmosphere and beauty of his beloved Kiev [like] Pushkin...but beneath the effulgent lyricism there sounds a chuckle of cynicism...Bulgakov's irony is both broad and finely honed."
Chandler
