About this listen

Stuart Hadley is a young radio electronics salesman in early 1950s Oakland, California. He has what many would consider the ideal life: a nice house, a pretty wife, a decent job with prospects for advancement, but he still feels unfulfilled; something is missing from his life. Hadley is an angry young man - an artist, a dreamer, a screw-up. He tries to fill his void first with drinking and sex, and then with religious fanaticism, but nothing seems to be working, and it is driving him crazy. He reacts to the love of his wife and the kindness of his employer with anxiety and fear.

One of the earliest books that Dick ever wrote, and the only novel that has never been published, Voices from the Street is the story of Hadley's descent into depression and madness, and out the other side.

Most known in his lifetime as a science fiction writer, Philip K. Dick is growing in reputation as an American writer whose powerful vision is an ironic reflection of the present. This novel completes the publication of his canon.

A very good book

I wasn’t born in the US, nor have I studied English or American literature… but this was a excellent read/listen… not sure what all that talk about the “Great American novel” is about i have heard about, but I can only assume this is too tough to accept as a contender. I’m thinking this is book is close to a Bordeaux wine with a lot of character… but Americans may only pretend they want that… while in reality, they probably want a Merlot that washes down easily?

Came for the back history of a science fiction author, stayed for the stark portrayal of American lives.
