Philip K Dick by Andrew Butler
Who was Dick? A freaked-out junkie who took too many drugs? An explorer of madness who got too close to his subject and ended up claiming to have met God? A practical joker? The most consistently brilliant SF writer in the world? All this and much more is revealed in this addition to the Pocket Essentials series which as well as an introductory essay on Dick, includes reviews of each of his novels and an analysis of his complete oeuvre. Essential for sci-fi fans everywhere.-
