Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve read Lem and love his work. Will totally check out their work. I think I’ll start with Roadside Picnic as Stalker is easily one of my favorite movies ever. I just saw Hard to be a God and loved it! You just made that connection for me, so I’ll definitely dig into their books. I really love all of Tartovsky’s stuff too and I even got to see Nostalghia in the theater about a decade ago. I’m American but I love that era of Soviet cinema.
I am unfamiliar! Tell me more!
Brothers Boris and Arkady. The second most important Soviet-era Eastern Bloc sci-fi writers, after Lem.
Lem wrote Solaris, the Strugatskys wrote Roadside Picnic (adapted as Stalker).
