Description: "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, author of The Fortress of Solitude "One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction." -- The Sunday Times (London) "A kind of pulp-fiction Kafka, a prophet." -- The New York Times "Dick is entertaining us about reality and madness, time and death, sin and salvation.... We have our own homegrown Barges."-- Ursula K. LeGuin "If someone were to write a history of the future as it has been dreamed up by Hollywood over the years, the chapter on today's tomorrow would belong in large part to Philip K. Dick." -- The Washington Post "[Dick] sees all the sparkling--and terrifying--possibilities . . . that other authors shy away from." -Paul Williams, Rolling Stone "Dick was . . . one of the genuine visionaries that North American fiction has produced in this century." - L.A. Weekly "When it comes to intellectually challenging and deeply philosophical grist for contemporary screenwriters, few literary minds have been as reliably fertile as that of the late science-fiction master Philip K. Dick. The longtime Berkeley resident's many novels and short stories overflow with the kind of suspense, intrigue and heroics that interest Hollywood." -- SF Chronicle
