A review by flags
Solaris by Stanisław Lem
challenging
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? N/A
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
Read physically briefly till I realised the translation was bad and switched to audiobook, highly recommend the Bill Johnston translation
Having watched the older film and a play adaptation made the book extra fascinating. The various sections of academia about Solaris make the focus on how everyone interprets it differently and when keeping that in mind the difference of tone and complexity from adaptations is kind of thematically on point.
