THE TIME IS 1920 THE PLACE IS MOSCOW The Devil appears with a retinue including a naked girl vampire with red hair and phosphorescent eyes, and a black cat that smokes cigars and is a dead shot with a Browning automatic. but Satan is only one member of a cast of characters that reenacts the Faust myth in a modern idiom. Here Faust is seen as a Russian novelist of genius who is packed off to a lunatic asylum for having retold the Passion in a way that is unacceptable to the Soviet authorities. And the Devil is a combination of tempter, sorcerer, and soothsayer - a figure who brings chaos, insanity, and death to the streets of Moscow. --back cover
