A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This is a biography of the novelist, Philip K. Dick, who was born into a repressed and unhappy family. From early childhood he showed extraordinary mental aptitude offset by emotional instability. He began writing stories for pulp magazines at an early age, and through most of his life turned out stories and novels at speed to support himself as an author. This book shows a generous but insecure man, troubled by the turbulence of his times and by his own difficult marriages, and driven to attempted suicide and near-insanity by his ceaseless quest to find meaning in the universe.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Divine Invasions is the definitive biography of one of America's greatest novelists and science fiction's greatest ambassador to literary audiences. Philip K. Dick loosened the bonds of the genre, ultimately making his reputation as a literary writer who happened to write speculative fiction, and profoundly influencing such writers as Pynchon, Delillo, David Foster Wallace, and Jonathan Lethem. Divine Invasions is being reissued to coincide with the fall 2005 release of "A Scanner Darkly," a film based on Dick's novel of the same name.
