Fwd: The Snail on the Slope by Boris & Arkady Strugatsky







I struggled with this one.  If I had read the afterword before reading the story I would have enjoyed it much more.  To understand the story, I think one must read it twice.  I had no idea what was going on in the universe and was very confused.  It is very well written but I did not infer the setting from the descriptions and actions.  2/5 Stars.

    Maybe you would like 'The Ugly Swans' better.
    Or this version of it https://smile.amazon.com/Lame-Fate-Swans-Rediscovered-Classics-ebook/dp/B07XSN1KM8/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=The+Ugly+Swans&qid=1600389506&sr=8-1
