If you were drawn to the sense of isolation and psychological unraveling in Ice, you'll find The Wall mesmerizing. The protagonist, unnamed like Kavan's narrator, finds herself cut off from the world by an invisible barrier, and Haushofer's claustrophobic focus on her inner experience will resonate if you appreciated the dreamlike, internal focus of Kavan's novel.

If the icy, devastated world of Ice captivated you, Roadside Picnic will draw you in with its haunting Zone—a mysterious, contaminated area left by aliens, full of danger and ambiguity. The atmosphere is equally chilling, and the narrative's sense of despair and confusion mirrors Kavan's cold apocalypse.

If you enjoyed the disorienting, hallucinatory flow of Ice, The Third Policeman offers a similarly surreal journey. The unnamed narrator wanders through a bizarre and shifting landscape where reality is never quite certain, echoing the strange, dreamlike logic and haunting imagery of Kavan's novel.

If you appreciated the way Ice uses its mysterious world to evoke existential dread and deeper allegories, Never Let Me Go will speak to you. Ishiguro’s novel weaves symbolism and restraint into a haunting meditation on humanity and mortality, using its alternate reality as an allegory for loss and longing.

If the philosophical undercurrents and questions about reality in Ice intrigued you, Solaris is essential. Lem’s novel probes the limits of human understanding when scientists encounter an incomprehensible alien intelligence, mirroring the sense of existential mystery that pervades Kavan’s work.
