The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick / edited by Pamela Jackson and Jonathan Lethem; Erik Davis, annotations editor.

p. cm.

Summary: “Preserved in typed and hand-written notes and journal entries, letters and story sketches, Philip K. Dick’s Exegesis is the magnificent and imaginative final work of an author who dedicated his life to questioning the nature of reality and perception, the malleability of space and time, and the relationship between the human and the divine. The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick will make this tantalizing work available to the public for the first time in an annotated two-volume abridgement. Edited and introduced by Pamela Jackson and Jonathan Lethem, this will be the definitive presentation of Dick’s brilliant, and epic, final work.”— Provided by publisher.
