Thanks to Goodreads and the publisher for a free copy of The Mountains of Parnassus! Beautifully-written sci-fi. But I think the most incredible part is how thought-provoking it is. The notes at the beginning, the introduction from the author himself... they raise issues about science fiction and its relationship to reality and religion, about a work's completeness and how the reading process can also be creative, and so much more. So engaging, and so thought-provoking.
Written in the 1970s and published posthumously in Polish in 2012, Milosz’s deliberately unfinished novel is set in a dystopian future where hierarchy, patriarchy, and religion no longer exist. Echoing the structure of The Captive Mind and written in an experimental, postmodern style, Milosz’s sole work of science fiction follows four individuals: Karel, a disaffected young rebel; Lino, an astronaut who abandons his life of privilege; Petro, a cardinal racked with doubt; and Ephraim, a potential prophet in exile.
