Valis certamente impressiona pelo mergulho em um surto esquizofrênico completo e extenso e alerta - não misturem depressão e drogas. Mas afora esse aspecto, digamos, antropológico, a falta de uma estrutura narrativa direcionada para ações e feitos, faz-se sentir na minha leitura. Admitidamente, sou um leitor com dificuldade de ser carregado pelo psíquico, entretanto, e então a radicalização de um aspecto do autor que o livro propõe não aparece como compensação. Ademais, não acho que, ao pensar o mundo, metafísica e misticismo devam dar as mãos. ( ) So this is another one I've had on my shelf for more than 20 years and I was always worried I wouldn't like it. It was pretty strange, but interesting enough to me to be enjoyable. Someone said the 2nd book is better and then there was supposed to be a 3rd book, but he never wrote it, but he did write a book that "works well" as an ending to the series, so I'm really curious about how that works. Reading this really brought me back to the 90's, when I was reading Robert Anton Wilson and a bunch of postmodern stuff. One of my close friends talked like the main character in this book and it makes me really want to reconnect with him (it's been at least 8 years). There was a line where the author (as a character in the story) says "Sometimes I dream..." and a person replies, "I'll put that on your gravestone." I immediately looked online to see if that line was on Philip K Dick's gravestone, but was disappointed to find out it was not. Recently reread this after about 15 years. Much more interesting the 2d time. Extremely interesting how he puts together all the Gnostic and other historical references to create the world of Horselover Fat and how it parallels his own life. Amazed at his vocabulary but unfortunately did not have easy access to a dictionary or internet while doing the reread. I do have a copy of Exegesis? but don't think I could ever make it through. It would be a great book if stranded on a deserted island... geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A theological detective story in which God is both a missing person and the perpetrator of the ultimate crime. The schizophrenic hero, a Dick alter-ego named Horselover Fat, begins receiving revelatory visions through a burst of pink laser light. As a coterie of religious seekers forms to explore these messages, they are led to a rock musician's estate, where a two-year old Messianic figure named Sophia confirms that an ancient, mechanical intelligence orbiting the earth has been guiding their discoveries.
