for Philip K. Dick lovers, from today's PW Daily, talking about a 
book that will be featured in next week's issue of Publishers Weekly 
magazine:

At 53, Philip K. Dick was a cult figure verging on Hollywood celebrity with
Blade Runner, adapted from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, but he
died in 1982, before the film's release. Gwen Lee and Doris Elaine Sauter's
What If Our World Is Their Heaven: The Final Conversations of Philip K.
Dick is transcripts of conversations with Dick weeks before his death.
After 18 years, it brings fresh insights--notably, into the imaginative
biotech plot line of the unwritten The Owl in Daylight. Dick also discusses
music, writing, philosophers and his 1974-1975 mystical visions, when the
revelation of his son's undiagnosed birth defect--"down to anatomical
details"--saved the child's life.
