Fantastic new jacket makes this package even more appealingFor the many, many fans of Philip K. Dick
Emmanuel Carrère is one of France's most critically acclaimed writers, the author of several screenplays and novels, including Class Trip and Moustache, as well as The Adversary, a New York Times Notable Book of 2001. He lives in Paris.
‘As Carrère shows in this imaginative biography, Dick may have been
the most paranoid writer in 1970s California ... The result lends
pathos and dignity to the life of a man'
*Christopher Tayler, Sunday Telegraph*
‘Carrère is well qualified to conduct a tour of Dick's bizarre
world. He gives telling insights into Dick's family background and
the voracious and wide-ranging reading that fed into his work ...
Most importantly of all, he sends us back with renewed excitement
to the flawed, brilliant books themselves'
*Evening Standard*
‘Compelling ... This book should convert a few more readers'
*Guardian*
‘***** Film adaptations of his fiction, including Blade Runner,
pale in comparison to the stories. Read I Am Alive and you'll want
to go back to the novels, or envy those about to read them for the
first time'
*Uncut*
