Civilian Activity Report

By this point, most of you have heard about the tragedy in Norway a few weeks ago when a Christian Fundamentalist murdered people and injured another 96. The story has been well-covered by International media and the mainstream press here in the US.

What you probably have not heard about is the married lesbian couple who rescued 40 teenagers during and after the bloody event. Several blogs and gay and lesbian publications are now picking up the story, but the heavy hitters who usually kill for hero stories like this, have remained silent.

“The Seventh Sally or How Trurl's Own Perfection Led to No Good” from The Cyberiad (1965) by Stanisław Lem, in which Trurl the constructor builds for a brutal exiled king an entire kingdom to torture that “fits into a box three feet by two by two and a half”:

“‘Trurl! Our perfection is our curse, for it draws down upon our every endeavor no end of unforeseeable consequences!’ Klapaucius said in a stentorian voice…. ‘Trurl, you took an untold number of creatures capable of suffering and abandoned them forever to the rule of a wicked tyrant…. Trurl, you have committed a terrible crime!’”

“Trurl and Klaupacius are constructor robots who try to out-invent each other. They travel to the far corners of the cosmos to take on freelance problem-solving jobs, with dire consequences for their employers. ‘The most completely successful of his books… here Lem comes closest to inventing a real universe’ (Boston Globe). Illustrations by Daniel Mr—z. Translated by Michael Kandel.”

Two stories by Stanisław Lem: “The Seventh Sally, or How Trurl’s Own Perfection Led to No Good” from The Cyberiad (1965) and “Non Serviam”. In “The Seventh Sally”, Trurl the constructor builds for a brutal exiled king an entire kingdom to torture that “fits into a box three feet by two by two and a half”:

“Trurl! Our perfection is our curse, for it draws down upon our every endeavor no end of unforeseeable consequences!” Klapaucius said in a stentorian voice…. “Trurl, you took an untold number of creatures capable of suffering and abandoned them forever to the rule of a wicked tyrant…. Trurl, you have committed a terrible crime!”
