THE SUNDAY HANGOVER

The other week I made reference to "the Philip K Dick Condition."

Philip Dick, to my mind, was the great visionary writer of the 20th
Century. Alan Moore thinks it's Lovecraft, but I think Dick contains
Lovecraft, and Kafka, and in his own visions recontextualises and adds
to them both. He was a visionary in both senses: he saw the future,
and suffered his own instructive hallucinations....
