I'm blinkered. What do you have against Playback?

Although she never wrote novels herself, Alice Munro's life reads like a Gothic novel.

Eight years later: Where to start indeed?

Alice Munro was a monster ...She let her second husband assault her daughter...and she even wrote about it....Gross ..

Alice Munro was on a plane beyond what Atwood could touch. She may have been the best short story writer ever.

RIP Alice

😊 Philip k dick time out of joint

average nerds be like

I had a brutal childhood and escaped into Science Fiction.First Dick I read was "Eye In The Sky" - I read it in about 1961 when I was 9. IT has most of the themes he later developed, interestingly enough. SO I read things like Martian TIme-slip when it was serialized as "All WE Marsmen" in the sci-fi mag "Worlds of Tomorrow" and eagerly awaited each new release. OF course, I joined the sci-fi book club and .. lo and behold.. here was a non serialization that became a hardcover release. I was 13 when I first read "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch". It changed me. I began to be an advocate for him ( Heinlein was the big kahuna back then) and pressed his novels to whomever showed an interest. It was rather odd to me when , in the 90s scholarly articles and critical assessments were beginning to document my own reading experiences. But really as time as gone on, his rep has only grown and deservedly so. Thanks for the video.

If you like a novel with a lot of characters I'd suggest reading either Gravitys Rainbow or Infinite Jest.

What is real or already has occurred previously?

Truly enjoyable video. Thanks. I worked in a bookstore but I didn't have as much fun as you have. I learned a few things: Books are heavy. I know what will sell. Anyone can write a book. People LOVE books about the breed they own. People like to buy books on how to do things. Fiction is sold less than non fiction. I hope you own the bookstore because you are better than to work in a store.

A truly Phildickian panel cartoon I saw many years ago. It shows someone drowning, and a robot speaking to them. The caption: I am your savior. If you wish to be saved deposit five cents in the slot. I am your savior. . .

hes tell us of the shit we are in and how to get out of it...very important for what we are going through now!

Martian Time Slip is really good.

Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner; Madlands by KW Jeter; Missing Man by Katherine Maclean; Last Call by Tim Powers; and any PKD story.

Roog; Solar Lottery; Eye in the Sky; Radio Free Albemuth; Confessions of a Crap Artist. Crap Artist is not science fiction and was rejected by publishers in the 1950s. Published first in a very limited edition in 1975 or so, and now one of 10 non-scifi PKD novels in print. All the non-scifi novels were originally rejected by publishers. Crap Artist makes Catcher in the Rye seem like a walk in the park. Be forewarned.

I heard Kim Stanley Robinson describe _Ubik_ thus: All the characters are dead unless they aren't, and they go to Des Moines in 1939.

You look like Austin Powers.

Gibson has been collectively deemed a genius for inventing the idea of corporate extractions by means of employing mercenaries that go by names like "Fox" or "Turner".

Are not too far off, dude. As time marches on, we are all going to discover that Philip k Dick is not just right on but 100 💯 accurate. We are living in a computer reality world. ua-cam.com/video/p-Se97m0D5o/v-deo.html

I should point out that Red Harvest strongly influenced the samurai movie Yojimbo. This was why Sergio Leone didn't credit Akira Kurosawa in A Fistful Of Dollars. Coincidentally Django was similar to A Fistful Of Dollars. Then the Bruce Willis movie Last Man Standing came out and credits Yojimbo. Four movies and none of them credit Dashiell Hammet.

I don't know how anyone can not want to read a book because of the cover. And people are really missing out on not reading PKD. You're preaching to the choir on this one to me. I've been reading and listening to audiobooks by Philip K Dick for at least 20 years and probably more likely 25. And the only 2 books I couldn't get into of his were The Man In The High Castle and The Transmigration Of Timothy Archer. My favourites are Clans Of The Alphane Moon and Flow My Tears The Policeman Said and A Scanner Darkly.And I can't quite remember the title of another one but it's about a disabled kid working in an electronics shop at the beginning. But those are just what I can remember off the top of my head. But I know for a fact if I actually spent a couple minutes thinking and looking up I could probably list about 15 that are my favourites. He's an absolute master of weird and engrossing. So sad he never really lived long enough to see the praise and love his books now receive (from those who know). But yes he certainly needs to be pushed more and I mean his books and audiobooks not the film's or adaptations. At one point I was reading so much PKD that I honestly used to dream his worlds as my own reality or my own reality with some of his quirks working through it. He's probably 1 or 2 on my favourite authors list. Terry Pratchett is interchangeable with him but for obviously different reasons but both as masterful as each other but in different ways.

Great vid...Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, was my first book I read by PKD. It's levels upon levels upon levels. Like Bladerunner. Everytime I watch it I feel I'm coming closer and closer to the realization I'm the android and PKD is simply helping ease the blow of that shock. That's art.

The big sleeppppp I’ve ordered the bookkk and I’m really excited to read it

Great video! These authors inspired me to become a writer. Regards, Gerard Denza Author of The Edward Mendez, P. I. series.

Thanks for this.

Tokyo Noir: Neon Identity by Nick John. Out July 1.

Glad you included Hammett and Chandler. Suggestion for you: take a look at Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer novels (starting with I, The Jury).

He has not posted In 5 years wow… hope his okay?!!

People don't read Dick, because HE SHOULD HAVE CHANGED HIS NAME!!! Anyways, I am going to buy "Ubik"... Thanks for the recommendation... IMHO

His books were blatantly hurried and his prose was generally a bit uninspired and bland yet hes still easily my favorite author which is a testament to his ingenuity

Huge OTR listener ….sooooooooo thankful I listen to audiobooks 👍🏻🥳💗💖❣️💓💕🥳✨

Today is March 2, 2022. Philip K. Dick died today 40 years ago on March 2, 1982

What a miracle!! A crime novel review that included Hammett & Chandler.

just read the first 100 pages of Alex and its great. turns out Alex is the sequel novel

The french author Emanuelle Carrere wrote a book about Philip K. Dick

All his books are great

Bit late to your site, but had to comment. I - as you say - found PKD in 1976 , purely by accident. Blew my 13 year old mind and proceeded to read 30 novels ... and was laughed at at school by people who judged the books on the completely unrelated covers which were even LESS to do with the contents in the pages than they are now. Nice to hear you enthuse about the door scene, I LOVED that !Your recommendations are spot on too.

Crime on, Betteredge was not narcissistic. The part narrated by Him was my favourite Read it in hospital and it was good. However, not the best book i've ever read. I appreciate its role in English crime writing though. Geeetings from Estonia and thanks for a good review
