Philip K. Dick's Exegesis To Be Published In 2011

Posted by Soulskill on from the that's-a-lot-of-pkd dept.

Dynamoo writes "The NYT reports that a two-part edition of PKD's Exegesis will be published next year. This huge work, a combination of journal and philosophical treatise, has been published in part before, but this is the first time that the whole version will be made generally available."

    And for those of you who missed it, here's Robert Crumb's The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick
