“The Interview and the Atoms.” On Stanisław Lem’s Unpublished Collection of Stories

Author(s): Kamila Budrowska
Subject(s): Literary Texts
Published by: Instytut Badań Literackich Polskiej Akademii Nauk
Keywords: Stanisław Lem; Lem's "Wywiad i atomy [The Interview and the Atoms]"

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the earliest stories by Stanisław Lem. A new research perspective is introduced by a remark on “The Interview and the Atoms” collection publishing failure (1949), found in censorship register offices of the Polish People’s Republic. The author is of the opinion that the stopping of this text by the Office of Press, Publication and Show Control greatly influences Lem’s decision to choose the subject matter of fantasy.
