The first thirty-five pages, for example, are one very long paragraph that gives the book a surreal feeling from the outset. This novel is translated from Polish and it makes one wonder when you read how much of the literary devices are direct translations.
It is very important when considering Lem's work that he was writing from behind the Iron Curtain. In this novel he out Dicks Philip K Dick with a textured political mind-fuck that will have any reader who takes seriously questioning what is real.
This is my third book by Stanislaw Lem who is a Polish Sci-Fi writer who is most remembered for is excellent alien contact novel Solaris that has twice been made into a film. One of my missions is to promote the trans-real Science Fiction to the younger generation but I realize that I am still discovering the treasure trove still out there to read. Published 1985 by Mariner Books (first published 1971)
