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."

  1. Against PKD's wishes? by astro · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I don't have sources to cite, but I recall when Radio Free Albemuth came out post-humously, that there was a stir that PKD had specifically stipulated that he did not want his works to be published after his death / without his approval. IIRC, his son approved the publication of aforementioned book, and like I said, there was quite a stir at the time.

    Is his estate profiting against his original wishes?

    FWIW, RFA was a GREAT book and I am glad it was published. Just wondering about the estate's ethics here.
