[lbo-talk] Stanislav Lem

[James Heartfield]

I am glad that Lem has found his lost satirical masterpiece, I seem to remember liking is SF, too.

But the limited circulation of this attack on Stalin rather undercuts the courage involved.

Would it be unfair to say that this is a bit like that circle of 14 Belgian resistance poets, who produced their work in small print runs ... of 14.

Or as the surrealist painter Marcel Marien said, 'Ah yes, the Belgian resistance: that was after the war.'
