Description: "A kind of pulp-fiction Kafka, a prophet." --The New York Times "Remarkable. . .echoes of Dick's contemporaries such as Ralph Ellison, Richard Yates, Rod Serling, Raymond Chandler and early Kurt Vonnegut Jr. resonate, and a bonus exists in Dick's impeccable eye for detail. . . .Dick fans will be in rapture." --Publishers Weekly[boxed review] onVoices from the Street "He reworks the territory of soured domesticity ( la Richard Yates and John Updike) in a working-class milieu anticipating Raymond Carver. Decades later, his oeuvre (like Philip Roth's) is lovingly enshrined in our national pantheon." LA Times "It may be hard for some to accept that the same writer who recently snuck into the American canon as a visionary and paranoid pop surrealist also penned a half dozen or more proletarian-realist novels set in the California of the '50's and early '60's, the best of which occupy a region demarcated by Richard Yates on one side and Charles Willeford on another. But accept it." -Jonathan Lethem "Well written, it is a welcome addition to its authors' large and brilliant canon." --BooklistonVoices from the Street
