"The whole horror of the situation is that he now has a human heart, not a dog's heart. And about the rottenest heart in all creation!"

and just like that i've fallen in love with bulgakov's brain. when i read the blurb, there wasn't a single thought in my mind that would've assumed this book could've been funny.

but it was. it was hilarious. so much so, that i audibly laughed. multiple times. bulgakov's ability to use dark humor and situational jokes is incredible. it was funny in an incredibly dark and morbid way.

a brilliant satire, and a brilliant critique of the environment he grew up in. the heart of a dog is a short little book about a professor named phillipovich that adopts a dog and... well, dissects him. he carefully rips him apart and replaces his organs with human ones.

man should've learned by now that their creations will always come back to haunt them.
