A beginning, of sorts, for Michael Swanwick and Beelzebub

We asked Michael Swanwick to send us reports during his recent visit to Russia.

After talk of Beelzebub boozing it up at Roscon, we now flashback to the beginning of our saga.

Beelzebub, preparing for his trip to Russia. He was named in homage to Mikhail Bulgakov, who put a similarly attired cat in THE MASTER AND
MARGARITA
.

And what exactly does this have to do with Michael Swanwick’s forthcoming collection, NOT SO MUCH, SAID THE CAT? All is to be revealed soon…
