Su questo libro

Recensione:

“Dick . . . has chosen to handle . . . material too nutty to accept, too admonitory to forget, too haunting to abandon.” --The Washington Post

“Dick [was] many authors: a poor man’s Pynchon, an oracular postmodern, a rich product of the changing counterculture.” --The Village Voice
