any attempt at describing the plot* of a Douglas Adams novel will invariably make you sound like you’re either drunk, clinically insane, or out of your mind high on shrooms because, i mean,
“the spaceship gets attacked by Vogons so Zaphod asks the ghost of his great-great-great-grandfather for help and gets sent to the Hitchhiker’s Guide headquarters office where it just magically occurs to him that he needs to find a man called Zarniwoop (he doesn’t know why), vaguely harasses an insect, argues with an elevator, and then is transported (still inside the building) to some abandoned planet where a disembodied voice explains to him that the planet has been driven to ruin by shoe shops...”
and that’s just the first 100 pages of it
*”plot” for lack of a better word, since you can hardly say that a book made completely out of random tangents and incomprehensible plot twists and worldbuilding-ish passages that make no fucking sense has a plot to begin with
#douglas adams#hgttg#this is from restaurant at the end of the universe btw#by all accounts Adams's books should be painfully bad and yet they are utterly brilliant#how#also fuck Max Landis but when he said you can't adapt Adams for screen he was right#you can never make a good adaptation of these books#only something in the spirit of the books and inspired by the books#and that's why the BBC america version of Dirk Gently is so good#it isn't trying to be the Douglas Adams novel#it is just heavily inspired by it and is done in a stilistically similar manner#and isn't afraid to be as weird and sometimes incomprehensible as the books#but tbh nothing can prepare you for actually reading Adams like#his books are the literary equivalent of a mildly sadistic rollercoaster ride#any time you feel like you are starting to understand where this is going you just get punched in the face#by some violent twist like 'he is spending the year dead for tax evasion purposes'#and wham you're dizzy as hell again#why isn't Adams more popular on tumblr btw???#20% of his books read like tumblr shitposts#paradox nerd post#random#text post
