book review
The Genocides - Thomas Disch (1965)

In Disch's bleak post-apocalypse, the planet Earth is being cleared as crop land for alien plants. The sober industry of human survival continues under the horror of being invaded and exterminated. Disch shows the survivors trapped in their misery and powerlessness... really an amazing book. I really loved it. The best post-apocalypse ever I think besides Dhalgren which doesnt really count.

I also thought it was a little similar to Solaris, but maybe this is a stretch ... I'm just really in love with first-contact pessimism right now. idk!!
