Valis
Autor Philip K. Dicken Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 oct 2011
“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.”*
What is VALIS?
When a beam of pink light begins giving a schizophrenic man named Horselover Fat (who just might also be known as Philip K. Dick) visions of an alternate Earth where the Roman Empire still reigns, he must decide whether he is crazy, or whether a godlike entity is showing him the true nature of the world.
“More disturbing than any novel by [Carson] McCullers,” (*Roberto Bolaño), by the end, like Dick himself, you will be left wondering what is real, what is fiction, and just what the price is for divine inspiration.
Also in the VALIS Trilogy:
The Divine Invasion
The Transmigration of Timothy Archer

'A joy to read' Washington Post
'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' Roberto Bolaño
'Remember: Philip K Dick got there first' Terry Gilliam
It began with a blinding light, a divine revelation from a mysterious intelligence that called itself VALIS (Vast Active Living Intelligence System). And with that, the fabric of reality was torn apart and laid bare so that anything seemed possible, but nothing seemed quite right.
It was madness, pure and simple. But what if it were true?

Recenzii
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
My literary hero
For everyone lost in the endlessly multiplicating realities of the modern world, remember: Philip K. Dick got there first
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
A joy to read
Valis is a carefully structured, profoundly thoughtful study of some crazy people who just might have touched something illimitable, something so deep-rooted in myth that it is literally unspeakable
