description: Confessions of a Crap Artist: A Chronicle of Verified Scientific Fact 1945-59 is one of Philip K. Dick's weirdest, most accomplished novels. Jack Isidore is a crap artist--a collector of crackpot ideas (among other things, he believes that the earth is hollow &amp; that sunlight has weight) &amp; worthless objects, a man so grossly unequipped for real life that his sister &amp; brother-in-law feel compelled to rescue him from it. But seen thru Jack's murderously innocent gaze, Charlie &amp; Juddy Hume prove to be just as sealed off from reality, in thrall to obsessions slightly more acceptable than Jack's, but a great deal uglier.Printed in the U.S.A.
