Podcast Book Review: The Man Who Japed by Philip K. Dick
The Man Who Japed by Philip K. Dick
Paperback, 168 pages
Published November 2002 by Vintage (first published 1956)
PKD's third released novel is sci-fi take on communist China with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. The world building, characters and sci-fi humor are all top notch in this novel. PKD was coming into his own here. The ending was panned for being a rip-off of Swift's Modest Proposal and it sounds like rightly so. I didn't write a full review because we broke it down on the Dickheads podcast. For a full and detailed review listen here:
