Philip K. Dick The Dream Connection Edited by D. Scott Apel
299 pages, Paperback
Published May, 2014 by The Impermanent Press
This will not be a very detailed review, but in the wake of Philip K. Dick’s posthumous stardom several books have been published that are just interviews with the guy. Several of the ones from the post-VALIS publication. This interview was just one of many that were held as a part of Apel's Oral history of Science Fiction (A book I just picked up). It also includes numerous essays, including one Robert Anton Wilson on PKD's mystical experiences, R. Faraday Nelson on collaborating with PKD on the unpublished High Castle sequels, a rare (at the time) short story about PKD's mystical experiences,
The interview is not as focused as some of the others. It may have something to do with the timing, during his brief relationship with Joan Simpson, when he was living in transition. Must have for die-hard PKD scholars, general Dickheads not so much.
