PKD Otaku Issue 27 - Philip K. Dick Fan Site

misunderstanding of Phil’s character. He was not precisely
secretive, and didn’t tend to lie about things like this. He
could be evasive and difficult, sure, but his tendency was
more to talk surprisingly openly to strangers, than to have
big secrets carefully kept from friends and the world.
No big deal. Just some comments for what it’s worth.
Yeah, Phil’s “fear” and love of LSD can be felt in his books,
but it is almost certain it can be felt as well in certain novels
written before he ever took the stuff. (He intuited the
experience before he had it chemically, maybe via a touch
of schizophrenia or who knows what.) I haven’t got the
time or all the right references nearby to give a full chronology
at the moment, but some thoughts off the top of
my head, grist for the mill.
PS: if you do trip alone, be careful about reading PKD
novels while you do so....
