Synopsis
In all Philip K. Dick's writings a rare quality stands out: a deep human and intellectual honesty, almost an inability to hide behind his work, revealing himself rather through it. Dick's trust in his readers was absolute, unparalleled among fellow science fiction writers. A trust that is not at all misplaced. because they were the one who kept the interest in all his production alive, even for the realistic texts that the publishing of his time had rejected. With "The Dark-Haired Girl" Dick wanted to share with those who would read him the inner torment following the breakup of his marriage, at a time of great uncertainty about his personal future. This openness goes beyond a simple admission of fragility. Interpreting his thoughts, experiences and dreams, the great writer hopes to better understand what distinguishes the human from the simulacrum, man from the machine. The result is a book that establishes a surprising and penetrating connection between his art and the events of his life. Introduction by Carlo Pagetti.
