The author of Solaris has passed away at the age of 83. A great writer and critic. You will be missed.

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?
~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies
i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

a straight edge for legends at
the fold - searching for our
lost cities of gold. burnt tar,
gravel pits. sixteen gears switch.

Okay, seems to be working.
I just wanted to say that I've read two of Lem's novels, The Futurological Congress and The Investigation. Both pretty good, but not great. Perhaps something was lost in translation.
