Childe Woland to the Dark Tower comes
If you haven't read Mikhail Bulgakov, here's a good reason: you have got to love a writer who can get the Church all hot and bothered 64 years after his death.
The Master and Margarita is being filmed (got to see that one), and the Russian Orthodox Church is not pleased.
"A senior Orthodox official told the Guardian that cinema was "not an adequate means of interpreting the Gospel" - icons were more appropriate. Father Mikhail Dudko, head of the secretariat for church and society, said: 'We Christians know four gospels, and in Bulgakov's book we see a kind of fifth: a gospel narrated by Satan, [who is called] Woland in the book. And the interpretation is in Satan's favour. Our reaction to such an interpretation can be nothing but negative.'"
