In Bulgakov's 'Diaboliad', the modest and unassuming office clerk
Korotkov is summarily sacked for a trifling error from his job at
the Main Central Depot of Match Materials, and tries to seek out
his newly assigned superior, responsible for his dismissal. His
quest through the labyrinth of Soviet bureaucracy takes on the
increasingly surreal dimensions of a nightmare. This early
satirical story, reminiscent of Gogol and Dostoevsky, was first
published in 1924 and incurred the wrath of pro-Soviet critics.
Along with the three other stories in this volume, which also
explore the themes of the absurd and bizarre, it provides a
fascinating glimpse into the artistic development of the author of
The Master and Margarita.
