Description:
While at the height of his agoraphobia, Philip Dick formed an odd bond with the child of his second wifeauthor Anne Mini. Finding herself alone at a young agedue to an overworked mother and a father dying of cancerMini turned to her mother's first husband, Dick, for companionship. The two spoke only on the telephone, yet by indulging one's loneliness and the other's paranoia, they came to construct a fantastic and fictive biography for the famously elusive sci-fi writer that, strangely enough, helped generate not only a majority of the accepted biographical information currently available on Dick, but functioned as source material for some of his acclaimed final works, including VALIS.
