A novella and a few short stories by an Italian author, first published in 1979. I had no idea what to expect. It's certainly different from other SF from this era I've read, much "softer" than the works of big names like Asimov, Pohl or Delany with their huge influence on the genre. Despite being definitely science fiction - we visit the Mars, a corporation-owned planet and an post-apocalyptic earth in these stories - Aldani doesn't put much emphasis on future technology. Much more important is character psychology, the stress on the human psyche under unusual conditions and how people deal with it. Usually, that dealing is not pretty, but, for example, the story that takes place on Mars could just as well have been set in any other isolated location where a group of people are on their own. In exploring these psychological extremes, Aldani also gets pretty creative with his language; from a diary format that gets more and more disturbing to stream of consciousness, he often mixes several narrative techniques in one short piece - with great success. Either that, or the German translation of the Italian original is simply brilliant.
But, of course, there's something else typical for the era: the blatant misogynism, manifesting in the way how women are not necessarily portraied in a stereotypical or non-flattering way, but that they don't appear at all. The cast is exclusively male - one protagonist has a (far away) wife that gets mentioned in passing, another finds a lover in what must be the worst, most uninspired "romance" I've ever read.

Nato a San Cipriano Po (Pavia) nel 1926, Lino Aldani ha debuttato in fantascienza nel 1960 e nel giro di pochi anni si è rivelato come il talento più originale e aggressivo della giovane Science Fiction italiana. Dopo aver pubblicato, nel 1962, il primo ampio studio critico italiano sulla fantascienza, «La Fantascienza», Editrice la Tribuna, Piacenza, e dopo aver fondato, nel 1953, la prima rivista dedicata specificatamente agli autori italiani, «Futuro», Aldani si è ritirato dalle scene per diversi anni ma nel 1967 è ritornato alla narrativa di science fiction con un apprezzato romanzo, «Quando le radici», quasi subito tradotto in diverse altre lingue; come lo era già stata la sua prima raccolta di racconti dal titolo
«Quarta dimensione», 1964, da cui è stato tratto il racconto qui pubblicato, «Buonanotte, Sofia», noto anche come «Onirofilm».

Katolisen kirkon pappi ja lähetystyöntekijä Isä Francisco Morales käy Lino Aldanin Jääristissä kamppailua omantunnon kysymysten kanssa. Kirjan takautumiin ja nykyhetkeen perustuva kerronta paljastaa papin epävarmuuden suhteessa itseensä ja muihin inhimillisellä tavalla.

Marsissa syntynyt Isä Morales on polttanut takanaan tarpeeksi siltoja joutuakseen kauniille Geronille, planeetalle joka polttaa muut kuin alkuasukkaat loppuun kymmenkertaisella nopeudella. Uuden kansansa keskuudessa lähetystyötä tehdessään pappi rikkoo vanhoja lupauksiaan ja jopa pappisvalaansa vastaan taistelussaan kansan sielujen puolesta.

Lino Aldanin kerronta soljuu läpi kirjan rennosti, eikä sorru retosteluun taikka julistamiseen. Ekologinen sanomakaan ei tule silmille, vaan pysyy hyvin kirjan hengen mukaisena. Jääristi on vahvoja mielikuvia herättävä kirja onnistuneen tiiviissä paketissa. Suosittelen.
