Roadside Picnic

Review by Sean Penn: writer, actor, world stage

Jul 25(edited)
Roadside Picnic
Arkady Strugatsky

Found this one to be pretty enjoyable. Like how kinda bleak it is. How abstract the idea that aliens could arrive and leave behind some cosmic slop. It’s such an awesome concept of a book. I like how it gives you just enough to ponder. Doesn’t give you all the answers. I’m always a little hesitant to read something and have them be like, you should have read it in Russian. Whatever. It was a fun book.
