The late masterpiece VALIS (1981) is a novelistic reworking of "the events of 2-3-74," when Dick's life was transformed by what he believed was a mystical revelation. It is a harrowing self-portrait of a man torn between conflicting interpretations of what might be gnostic illumination or psychotic breakdown.—Blackwell North America
“A paranoid fantasy that feels more and more prophetic with every read. Even more exciting if you know something of what happened to the author circa 1974."—Submitted by Grier C., Associate Director
