No, I shouldn't do this. There's a PKD list in another region of the virtual
netscape
(not the browser). But I have to object here: Phil was not inconsistent and
chaotic
most of the times. First time you read novels as The 3 Stigmata of Palmer
Eldritch
or Ubik they may cause such a state of bewilderment in the reader that you might
think that (that was also my 1st reading impression). But after years of
re-reading
ad scholarly attention I (and others) devoted to those works, I found out he had
some basic themes in his mind, his intellectual Fixsterne , and he always dealt
with
them: madness, Christian theology, artificial reality, onthological issues,
troubled
relations with women, the dignity of craftsmen, etc. In some writers (like
Juneger)
the Fixsterne may be more easily traceable, while Dick's are seen as through a
glass,
darkly. But that does not amaze me; he was such an avid reader of St. Paul
and the
early Christian writers.
