...historical paintings from the museum's rarely displayed 19th century collection rest against the walls, waiting to be fitted into their frames. Below ground, white-gloved workers are laboriously transferring the 3,000 works currently in storage to a new, climate-controlled archive system. And in the Room of Muses, a lone conservator painstakingly cleans a sculpture of Erato, the Greek muse of lyric poetry, one of eight statues that give the museum's new receiving hall its name.

He yearns for the love of his former muse and mistress, Margarita. She, in turn, makes a Faustian deal with Satan to reunite with her long lost love. What ensues is absurd, intricate, and absolute unforgettable. The book is simultaneously a fairy tale, an epic, a religious allegory, a political satire, and, primarily, a harrowing romance.
