Galactic Pot Healer. It's fantastic. Odd and certainly not a masterpiece, but still some of Dick's best writing. It's one of his instances of mythology creation; it's closer to a fantasy than sci-fi.
Apparently it was one of Dick's least favourite novels. As I recall, he wrote the book in just one week while under the influence of amphetamines, and later had no recollection of having written it, and he more or less disowned it.
- rantwasp 6y agohahahaha. breaking news: pkd claimed that all his books are basically an expression of what he “sees” in alternate universes. so he saw himself more like a transmitter than a source. in his exegesis he goes back and reinterprets all his work through the valis filter. it’s nuts but beautiful in a poetic manner. as for the pot healer? i think the book is dope and it’s up there in my top10.
