Meditation on the nature of reality leads one down strange pathways.
Nothing is as it seems.
This is a book about a man who experienced this, expressed it brilliantly, and refused to stop at that, devoting himself instead in his work to the passionate and often comical search for what is, if it isn't what it seems to be. Paul Williams, close friend of Philip K. Dick and literary executor of the estate for the decade after Dick's death in 1982, profiles this most revolutionary and enigmatic person in Only Aparently Real. Dick left a legacy of more than sixty books, an international cult following, two cats, an apartment full of notes, five ex-wives, and a legendary reputation as the Jack Keroac of the SF field, a personality as fascinating as his works. Through annecdotes and original new interview material from WIlliams' tapes, and from a rich lode of letters and papers in the estate, the lunatic prince of SF lives again in Only Aparently Real.
