RE: A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick

in Hive Book Clublast month

Ah, Days of Wine and Roses is so sad. I saw it as a play, many years ago. It was in a studio so quite up close and personal. Thanks for the review - I might have a look if I feel I can.

Sort:  

I saw the movie, with Jack Lemon and Lee Remick. Unforgettable on the screen. Yes, so sad.

Phillip K. Dick is a remarkable writer. For anyone who loves words and the magic that an author can create with them, he is a very interesting writer. Dark, dark, dark book--and yet compassionate.

Ubik / A man in high castle / Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - are among my faves btw

They are on my list :) Have Ubik downloaded on my iPad already. Saw the TV series Man in a High Castle. I guess that's next. My son also recommends Do Androids Dream of Sheep.

Maybe you have to be a little crazy to 'see' what he saw and to write about it. Also quite brilliant.
