What's the literary equivalent?
>>23629555>based off The Roadside PicnicHmmmm. I wonder
>>23629558You haven't seen the film or read that book, please exit my thread
>>23629558It’s so loosely based on that that it may as well be something else. Roadside picnic is a genre shit sci fi book he used as a ground idea to do his own thing.
is his daughter half-monkey in the film?
>>23629566No
>>23629555The Bible.
>>23629689Perhaps expand on this, kind anonymous?
Stylistically, Ice by Anna KavanThematically, Siddhartha
>>23630056Lol no, not at all
>>23630220Reason?
>>23629555The book of the new sun
>>23630339You tell me why you think they are similar. Onus is on you, anus.
>>23630419Ice - dystopian and ephemeral. Characters are nameless and archetypal. Flowing passages that remind me of long slow dolly shots. Unreliable and surreal narration similar to the poetic incursions of Stalker that obfuscate the logic of their journey. Siddhartha - Spiritual journey in search of the Ultimate Answer, intimate encounters with nature, protagonist encountering many varieties of meaning-seeking practices (“a meaning and a reason” in reference to Scientist and Writer) and holy guides with their varying advice (Stalker), ends in a state of relative aporia. I’d say stalker can be read as more cynical than Siddhartha, but the style betrays this reading often.
>>23629555Kafka comes to mind, Before the Law.
>>23629555Maybe the book the movie was based on...?Other then that the Metro series by Dmitry Glukhovsky is heavily influenced by Roadside Picnic and the STALKER movie. Trying to figure out how to spell his name correctly I just found out he's been arrested in Russia for speaking out against the government.Man Fuck Putin and thank god I was born in America.
>>23629555>>23630354Seconding this.
>>23629555>What's the literary equivalent?First Circle or Cancer Ward.
>>23629563>genre shit sci fiso same as the movie then?
>>23629558>based off The Roadside PicnicHow did this little novella from a backwater basket weaving village become so influential? I didn't realize until decades later that the gold ball in sphere was the wish granter from roadside picnic. And the concept of the zone being some unexplainable shape shifting place that gives people powers was used as the backstory to some japanese anime.
>>23629555The Tartar Steppe
>>23629559Not the guy you replied to but I've done both and you are the retard in this. You could've asked more books like this than roadside picnic however and avoided this.
