description: "...Rumors have circulated for years about the strange contents of a huge unpublished work by Philip K. Dick. 'In Pursuit of Valis' is the first publication of portions of the legendary 'Exegesis'. Dick's 'Exegesis' was the greatest undertaking of his life: some eight thousand pages written (mostly in longhand) during the last years of his life, when he was wrestling with a series of spiritual visions.These same 'mystical experiences' became the heart of Dick's novels 'Valis' and 'Radio Free Albemuth'.'In Pursuit of Valis' contains autobiographical material, metaphysical diagrams, philosophical speculation, Dick's analysis of his own fiction and a self-contained short story.Here at last is Philip K. Dick's bizarre and fascinating New Age magnum opus..."
