> pseudo-autobiographical form? I’m not even sure what to call it! For sure! Trying to describe what Valis actually is, is about as difficult as pinning down what reality in a PKD novel is. The fact that PKD's real life experience basically turned into one of his own novels is something I find endlessly fascinating. And also kind of sad, since whatever mental health issues he was dealing with seemed to cause him quite a bit of pain. I have a copy of "The Exegesis of Philip K Dick", and while it's too tedious to just read cover to cover, I'll often just pop it open and read a few pages here and there. Really interesting stuff.
