It was around this time that Dick began to take an active interest in the science fiction genre, reading his first magazine 'Stirring Science Stories', at age twelve. Dick married five times between 1959 and 1973, and had three children. He sold his first story in 1951 and from that point on he wrote full-time, selling his first novel in 1955. In addition to 44 published novels, Dick wrote an estimated 121 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime.

Five stars each for Dick and Library of America
By KJ
I bought this volume for its inclusion of "A Scanner Darkly", after seeing the movie. I think what made me decide to purchase it was dedication, at the end of the film, to all of Dick's friends who were lost along the way. The movie was effective, if hard to understand, but that dedication was haunting and I knew I had to read the book.
I have yet to read "A Scanner Darkly" because I started off with "Flow My Tears the Policeman Said" and then "Martian Time Slip". Both books were great, combining insightful brilliance and a much larger dose of the hauntedness that drew me to Dick in the first place. In fact, I often had to put down both books, especially "Martian Time Slip" to get rid of the sinking, nauseated feeling that comes so easily while reading Dick. For me Dick is the writer who, page after page, lets me bite off more than I can chew.
Although I understand why Dick is classified as a science fiction writer I think this label does him--and potential readers--a great disservice; I want to encourage anyone reading this review who is leery of science fiction to go ahead and read Dick, especially if they are keen on brilliant, if troubling, insights of the psychological, sociological, metaphysical and outright varieties.
Finally I want to praise the Library of America series. The series is simply first rate, from the physical quality of the materials to the aesthetics of the fonts and book layout and design, inclusion of a permanent tassel bookmark and the editing and notes. Bravo.
PS - in case you didn't know this is actually the second Library of America volume for dick, the first containing four other novels!

PKD: His Tears Would Flow at Making It to the Library of America!
By David Kleist
Prolific. Consistently thought-provoking. Scintillatingly brilliant with uncanny frequency. Hilarious. Living an adult life mostly in poverty but surrounded by many caring people. A binge fiction writer, letter-writer, and talker.
This was Philip K. Dick. He was kind enough to correspond several times with a nerdy high-school senior who had written a ten-page analysis of three of his major works.
That was me.
PKD's heart would soar at being included in a series of books featuring Melville, Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Hawthorne, and Thoreau. This latest volume includes FLOW MY TEARS, THE POLICEMAN SAID, still one of my favorites and the novel that sent me on my own binge of PKD reading.
With an oeuvre of over fifty novels, voluminous short stories, philosophical essays, and a final tome, THE EXEGESIS, which may resemble Prokofiev's Symphony Number 2 in its gargantuan length and ultimate inaccessibility for most fans, Philip K. Dick was a ceaseless writer who found revision a nearly impossible process.
His works are structured by his brilliant mind that thought aloud on paper in the form of stories that questioned the nature of reality but that also revealed a profound love for most of humanity. To read PKD is to become more deeply attuned to what it is to be human--to become an explorer held in suspense by a psychological realist who fabulated fantastic worlds that were strangely familiar.
PKD's best works--five of which are included in this latest volume--are a joy to read. Because he wrote fast and didn't often revise, these are blemished works of art. But all of us are similarly blemished: it's the nature of being human. Brilliance radiates even on pages where archaic slang, incorrect predictions, and other flaws are rife.
One leaves PKD's novels wishing that one could still talk to, correspond with, or hear lecture the author--or simply read brand-new examples of this genius's work. Even with his vast output, one wants more.
One cannot leave the pages of PKD without feeling a strange, perhaps singular, intimacy. These novels incarnate the mind of that brilliant friend who lives nearby and raids your medicine cabinet if you're not looking.
If one is attuned, one leaves the novels of PKD not just loving the words but also loving the man who wrote them, flawed as he may have been.
Rereading FLOW MY TEARS, THE POLICEMAN SAID for the first time in twenty years, I discovered how much I myself had changed. The jokes had a different tone; the philosophical and psychological dimensions had taken on different shadings and colors. But the engaging ideas, the idiosyncratic but compelling characters, and the sheer energy of the novel convinced me yet again that I was in the presence of a mind that never ceased to teach. Dick, a student of so many disciplines, channelled his deepest loves and fears into his books, and we, the lucky readers alive today who continue to peruse his pages, have been given by PKD a gift similar to Mary Anne Dominic's blue vase at the end of FLOW...-- works of enduring art that are loved by many.
I'm grateful that the Internet was unavailable to PKD: it might have ruined his output of novels and stories.
But I wish I could see the joy and pride on his face at having two volumes (so far) dedicated to his best work.
Emerson himself merited only two volumes.

Great book, great selection of stories
By Jopa S Ruchkoj
That book contains three novels which I've never read before. Definitely not mainstream, but I enjoyed them a lot. Also, it was very interesting to read PKD timeline, which is published at the end of the book.
