Roadside Picnik by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky


Roadside Picnic was written in 1971. Published in English in 1977.
The novel is about life after Aliens "Visitation" to Earth and most of it is about Redrick Schuhart (Red), a stalker who searches for artifacts for profits.
Roadside Picnic was refused publication in book form in the Soviet Union for eight years due to government censorship. Censored versions published between 1980-1990 were very departed from the original version. My book was published in 1987 and probably it is the censored one.
the novel was nominated for  John W. Campbell Award for best fiction novel in 1978 and won second place.
