When his play is taken up by the theatre, literary success beckons, but he has reckoned without the grotesquely inflated egos of the actors, directors and theatre managers. A semi-autobiographical novel by the Russian author best known for The Master and the Margarita describes a writer''s failure to sell his novel and then his inability to commit suicide, as well as his discovery of the unexpected consequences of literary success when his play is accepted for a theatrical production.
