Stanisław Lem

Five Lems: Jonathan Lethem on Stanisław Lem
London Review of Books (LRB)
Every time I run into Stanislaw Lem it makes a big impact on me. The movie Solaris was nothing like I thought a science fiction movie should be, but it was totally engrossing. I've read at least one of his books. I am not sure whether that is because his books were hard to find, or they just didn't grab me when I tried them.
