About this listen
What is VALIS? This question is at the heart of Philip K. Dick's groundbreaking novel, the first book in his defining trilogy. When a beam of pink light begins giving a schizophrenic man named Horselover Fat (who just might also be known as Philip K. Dick) visions of an alternate Earth where the Roman Empire still reigns, he must decide whether he is crazy or whether a godlike entity is showing him the true nature of the world.
VALIS is essential listening for any true Philip K. Dick fan, a novel that Roberto Bolaño called "more disturbing than any novel by [Carson] McCullers." By the end, like Dick himself, you will be left wondering what is real, what is fiction, and just what the price is for divine inspiration.

I love most of Philip K Dick's books and Phil Gigante is a great narrator but this actual 'novel' is just a stream of consciousness of an intelligent man who has had a mental breakdown.Would you ever listen to anything by Philip K. Dick again?
Yes. most of his books are a fantastic mind-f@ck.You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Philip K Dick is a highly intelligent man and has lots of interesting ideas and perspectives but this book just seemed to ramble with no point.Confusing ramblings of a mental breakdown
