Philip K. Dick
What is VALIS? This question is at the heart of Philip K. Dick's groundbreaking novel, the first book in his defining trilogy. When a beam of pink light begins giving a schizophrenic man named Horselover Fat (who just might also be known as Philip K. Dick) visions of an alternate Earth where the Roman Empire still reigns, he must decide whether he is crazy or whether a godlike entity is showing him the true nature of the world.
VALIS is essential listening for any true Philip K. Dick fan, a novel that Roberto Bolaño called "more disturbing than any novel by [Carson] McCullers." By the end, like Dick himself, you will be left wondering what is real, what is fiction, and just what the price is for divine inspiration.

PKD’s strangest and perhaps best book

I was obsessed with the first half of this book, and it wasn’t until the last 2 chapters or so that I felt myself being slightly uninterested. In usual PKD fashion, the ending was sort of a flop. However, the book in its entirety was so good it didn’t totally ruin it for me at all. And there are two more to this series. Looking forward to them.
Definitely not for those who are new to PKD

His short stories are some of the best I’ve ever read — and I mean that.
Hollywood steals his themes and his worlds.
He puts you in a time and place, and then rips the carpet out from under your feet.
But all those worlds started to get to him, I think. 2-3-74 happened, and things really started to get weird.
VALIS is a trip. It’s intriguing, silly, and at times confusing. Punch the ticket and take the ride.

hard to read and comprehend but once you find the flow it all falls together. P.K.D writes an interesting tale of messiahs and gods.
