THE OPEN-ENDED PARABLES OF STANISLAW LEM AND “SOLARIS”

by Darko Suvin
Solaris is the first novel of the distinguished Polish writer Stanislaw Lem to be translated into English. In order to understand its context, which is Lem’s rediscovery of science fiction as a supple and satisfactory form of literary cognition, the English-language reader should be acquainted with Lem’s staggering range of interests and achievement. For Lem is not only the most important SF writer on the continent of Europe, he is a cultural phenomenon unto himself.
