tintom 's review for:
Time Out of Joint
by Philip K. Dick
This book tells us a lot about Philip K. Dick’s brain and ways of thinking I think.
I enjoyed reading it and read it quite fast because of this but I agree with the afterword written by Lou Stathis in 1984 that the reveal sort of dulls the build-up and feels dissatisfying as the least interesting part of the book. But also I don’t know how much I agree with what I’m saying here.. maybe intellectually the least interesting part because the world revealed is sort of ridiculous and feels hammy and unnecessary but I suppose I don’t think I thought that until I read the Afterword. So maybe I’m lying!
I spend a lot of time at work with people with psychosis (largely drug-induced, sometimes not), so weirdly find reading about psychosis to be quite annoying?? cos I maybe associate it with work? It’s crazy how well this book creates the feeling of psychosis and paranoia tho, Mr. Dick you truly were bonkers, God bless x
