ONLY APPARENTLY REALThe World of Philip K. DickPaul Williams
"ONLY
HILIP
K. DICK said that his purpose
as a writer was "to pierce
through the veil of what
is only apparently real and get to what is really real."
Meditation on the nature of reality
leads one down strange pathways.
Nothing is as it seems. This is a book
about a man who experienced this, expressed
it brilliantly, and refused to stop at that, devoting
himself instead in his work
to the passionate and often comical search for
what is, if it isn't what it seems to be.
Paul Williams, close
friend of Philip K. Dick and
literary executor of the estate
for the decade after Dick's death in 1982,
profiles this most revolutionary
and enigmatic person
in Only Aparently Real.
Dick left a legacy of
more than sixty books,
an international cult following,
two cats, an apartment full of notes,
five ex-wives, and a legendary reputation as
the Jack Keroac of the SF field,
a personality as fascinating as his works.
Through annecdotes
and original new interview material
from WIlliams' tapes, and from a rich lode
of letters and papers in the estate,
the lunatic prince of SF
lives again in Only Aparently Real.
