In Pursuit of Valis is the first publication of portions of the legendary Exegesis . Dick s Exegesis was the greatest undertaking of his life: some eight thousand pages written (mostly in longhand) during the last years of his life, when he was wrestling with a series of spiritual visions. These same mystical experiences became the heart of Dick s novels Valis and Radio Free Albemuth . In Pursuit of Valis contains autobiographical material, metaphysical diagrams, philosophical speculation, Dick s analysis of his own fiction and a self-contained short story. Here at last is Philip K. Dick s bizarre and fascinating New Age magnum opus. /b /font br br Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile.
