PKD lived in Orange County back when it was lame and snorted meth like it was nutritious.
he was definitely a little whacked from it like any long term use meth head.

glad to see PKD getting some words here. he can't fucking write a sentence, but i love reading his stuff, especially the trilogy, because not many other writers can track that all-consuming need and obsession of a mind to 'figure it all out' like PKD. an example of intensity and blood being just as important as language.

That biography I Am Alive and Your Are Dead was really good. Really got into his craziness.

And for a fictional take on Dick and the omnivorous, deranged mania of the writing mind, check out Chris Miller's hilarious new novel, The Cardboard Universe, just published today! (Shameless plug–at Harper Perennial he's one of our own–but the book is seriously one of the funniest things I've ever read.) It's one part Confederacy of Dunces, one part Pale Fire, and about 1000 shards of old Twilight Zone episodes, all jammed through the exquisite funhouse blender of Chris Miller's mind. Open to any page and you'll laugh out loud–something that can't be said for any old novel . . .
