Oh yes, The Master and Margarita, by Bulgakov (or in Russian, as Wikipedia tells me, Мастер и Маргарита). I loved that one, too, though I think I was too young when I read it to make much of the political allusions.

Titus Alone is actually the only Gormenghast book I read, the other too I watched in the fabulous BBC version. I loved Titus Alone, it belongs to the same class of books as The Master and Margarit (sp?).
I think it’s a brilliant work, for all its quirks and oddities.

I remember Peake’s trilogy with great fondness, as I believe I mentioned before. But it’s high time I re-read it - I think I’d get even more from it now I’m older. I also keep meaning to watch the BBC adaptation, which was (allegedly) quite good.
