If you were fascinated by Maskull’s quest across the dreamlike landscapes of Tormance and the haunting, symbolic encounters along the way, you'll be swept up by Severian’s odyssey through the strange and layered world of The Book of the New Sun. Wolfe’s masterpiece offers enigmatic characters and places, shifting realities, and a deep sense of philosophical searching—mirroring the otherworldly and allegorical nature of A Voyage to Arcturus.

If you enjoyed the way A Voyage to Arcturus challenges perception and delves into questions of reality and identity, Solaris will grip you with its own cerebral mysteries. Kris Kelvin’s confrontations with the sentient planet and the psychological puzzles it poses echo the existential depth and speculative boldness that made Lindsay’s work so memorable.

If you were captivated by the novel’s exploration of bizarre, alien customs and landscapes, The Dispossessed will immerse you in the contrasting worlds of Anarres and Urras. Follow Shevek as he navigates unfamiliar cultures, much like Maskull’s encounters with the inhabitants of Arcturus, and wrestles with the profound implications of societal difference.

Engine Summer is perfect if you were drawn to the slow, hypnotic progression and elusive realities of Maskull’s travels. Crowley’s tale of Rush That Speaks wandering through a post-collapse world balances poetic language and ambiguity, enveloping you in the same surreal, numinous atmosphere that defined A Voyage to Arcturus.

If the unpredictable shifts and mind-bending turns of A Voyage to Arcturus enthralled you, The Invention of Morel will keep you guessing. Casares’s protagonist is stranded on an impossible island, unraveling mysteries and facing reality-twisting surprises—building to a revelation as shocking and transformative as anything in Lindsay’s classic.
