The Religious Experience of Phillip K. Dick
The Phillip K. Dick fan site has an R. Crumb comic called “The Religious Experience of Phillip K. Dick” reprinted from Weirdo magazine, illustrating his odd visions from 1974 (or psychotic episode, or theophany, depending on how you explain them).
I’ve read the first books of the Valis trilogy, his last books. They’re thinly disguised autobiography of this period, and am not sure what to make of it all. I think he was probably crazy, but in an extremely cogent way. There’s something about the labyrinthine quality of the books that keeps them from either being fully apprehended or forgotten quietly.
