Scott Apel <[EMAIL PROTECTED] New PKD Book Hello! > I found your name and e-mail address listed on a Philip K. Dick site, so >I hope you'll be interested in the information below. (Please forgive me >if this is a duplicate mailing. Although I am trying to contact fans of >PKD, sometimes the lists of names overlap.) > > I was a friend of Philip K. Dick's during the final years of his life. My >friend Kevin Briggs and I were fortunate enough to have performed a >massive eight-hour, 30,000 word interview with PKD when he was living in >Sonoma in mid-1977, and we became fast friends. > > Phil's untimely death affected me so deeply that in 1986 I put together a >"tribute volume" containing the full transcript of this interview, a >then-unpublished short story by PKD, an essay by Ray Nelson about >collaborating with Phil, a long piece by Robert Anton Wilson, and a couple >essays of my own. This limited-edition (500 copies) hardback, entitled >"Philip K. Dick: The Dream Connection," was very well received by PKD >fans, friends and reviewers alike. > > Due to the increasing interest in PKD's life and work over the past >decade, I have decided to reprint this volume. Now, I certainly don't want >to alienate anyone who might recoil in horror at even the faintest hint of >"commercialism" or "advertising" in an unsolicited e-mail, so this note >will not degenerate into a sales pitch. But I doubt if you would simply >stumble across this book if I didn't alert you to its existence. > > So I humbly suggest that if you're interested, you visit The Impermanent >Press web site -- > > www.impermanentpress.com > > -- where you can find all the details you might want, including an >excerpt from the interview, critical comments about the first edition, and >a special pre-publication offer. > > I'm very proud of this book, and quite pleased to bring it back into >print after a dozen years. Phil's genius comes shining through in >virtually every page of the interview, and this is humorous and >compassionate wisdom that should not be lost. If nothing else, the >contents should provide fodder for some new discussion! > > And again, if I have offended you in any way by sending this unsolicted >e-mail, you have my sincerest apologies. Just please don't tell my mom! > > Yours, > > --D.
