It began with a blinding light, a divine revelation from a mysterious intelligence that called itself VALIS. And with that, the fabric of reality was ripped open and laid bare so that anything seemed possible, but nothing seemed quite right.

Part science fiction, part theological detective story in which God plays both the missing person and the perpetrator of the ultimate crime, VALIS is both disorienting and eerily funny, and a joy to read.

Press Reviews

  • Sunday Times
    One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction, Dick made most of the European avant-garde seem like navel-gazers in a cul-de-sac
  • Fay Weldon
    My literary hero
  • Terry Gilliam
    For everyone lost in the endlessly multiplicating realities of the modern world, remember: Philip K. Dick got there first

  • Roberto Bolaño

    Dick is one of the ten best American writers of the twentieth century, which is saying a lot. Dick was a kind of Kafka steeped in LSD and rage
  • Washington Post
    A joy to read

  • Theodore Sturgeon
