Red Schuhart is a stalker, one of those young rebels who are
compelled, in spite of extreme danger, to venture illegally into
the Zone to collect the mysterious artifacts that the alien
visitors left scattered around. His life is dominated by the place
and the thriving black market in the alien products. But when he
and his friend Kirill go into the Zone together to pick up a "full
empty," something goes wrong. And the news he gets from his
girlfriend upon his return makes it inevitable that he'll keep
going back to the Zone, again and again, until he finds the answer
to all his problems. First published in 1972, "Roadside Picnic" is
still widely regarded as one of the greatest science fiction
novels, despite the fact that it has been out of print in the
United States for almost thirty years. This authoritative new
translation corrects many errors and omissions and has been
supplemented with a foreword by Ursula K. Le Guin and a new
afterword by Boris Strugatsky explaining the strange history of the
novel's publication in Russia.
