"I scanned the cover too quickly and erroneously thought it said, "Will His Plan Make Us Suffer?", stated a man from Spokane, Wash. "And after reading the article, I'm not so sure that wasn't the proper question to ask."

Dick's work, no less serious or searching, was confined to the ghetto of SF (that's the short form, folks--never, ever sci-fi). He stalked through earthly life, through five wives, a drug addiction and a nervous breakdown, seeing his SF novels published in tatty Ace paperbacks, his other fiction regularly rejected. When he died, in 1982, at 53, mainstream readers didn't know Phil Dick...
