If you found yourself mesmerized by the shifting, dreamlike odyssey of the camel, the cyborg, and the Russian in The Troika, you'll love the magical, unpredictable travels of Fevvers, the winged aerialist. Nights at the Circus weaves an equally surreal tapestry, full of strange transformations and mythic undertones, where reality and fantasy blur in captivating ways.

If the existential riddles and metaphysical musings of The Troika intrigued you—like the characters' quest to understand their own identities and pasts—Roadside Picnic offers a similarly thought-provoking journey. The mysterious Zone and its incomprehensible artifacts force characters (and readers) to confront what it means to search for meaning in an uncaring universe.

If you appreciated the absurdist, darkly comic undertones in The Troika—like the bizarre banter between a human, a cyborg, and a talking jeep—Slaughterhouse-Five will resonate with you. Vonnegut's signature blend of bleak humor and surreal events, especially in Billy Pilgrim's time-skipping adventures, captures that same morbidly funny vibe.

If you were fascinated by the layered allegories and symbolic mysteries in The Troika—the shape-shifting forms, dream logic, and ambiguous identities—The Shadow of the Torturer offers a deeply symbolic world as well. Severian’s wandering through a faded, mythic Urth mirrors the enigmatic storytelling and hidden meanings you enjoyed.

If you loved the way The Troika immerses you in a reality where logic collapses and the impossible becomes routine—like a desert crossing with a talking jeep—then Kafka on the Shore will sweep you away with its talking cats, raining fish, and parallel dream worlds. Murakami’s novel delivers that same sense of disorienting, magical realism.
