Brilliant, enigmatic, and revelatory, The Snail on the Slope is one of the greatest literary works to come out of Soviet Russia.Īrkady and Boris Strugatsky are the most famous and popular Russian writers of science fiction, and the authors of over 25 novels and novellas. Their journeys are surprising and bizarre, and readers are left to puzzle out the mysteries of these foreign environments. Candide crashed in the Forest years ago and wants to return to the Administration. Peretz, who works at the Administration, wants to visit the Forest. The other is the Forest, a place of fear, weird creatures, primitive but garrulous people, and violence. One is the Administration, an institution run by a surreal, Kafkaesque bureaucracy whose aim is to govern the forest below. The Snail on the Slope is a neglected masterpiece by Russian science fiction greats Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, who thought of it as ther "most complete and important work." now, in a stunning translation, this tour de force is ready to be introduced to a new generation of American readers. “The Snail on the Slope may be the most dizzyingly concentrated dose of the Strugatskys’ strange and powerful medicine.”-Jonathan Lethem The Snail on the Slope by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky / ISBN 9781613737545 / 256-page paperback / Chicago Review Press
