In this spellbinding new book, the man described by the Daily Telegraph as ‘possibly the best living writer in Britain’ takes on his biggest challenge yet: unlocking the film that has obsessed him all his adult life. Magnificently unpredictable and hilarious (and, surely, one of the most unusual books ever written about cinema), Zona takes the reader on an enthralling and thought-provoking journey. Like the film Stalker itself, it confronts the most mysterious and enduring questions of life and how to live.
