Flow my tears, the policeman said

Title Flow my tears, the policeman said Author Philip K. Dick Call Number PS3554.I3 F5 1974 Location 2nd Floor Humanities Rating Somewhat Recommended Book Review This book reads like a lot of Dick's work, which is to say stiflingly dystopian with themes of identity and authenticity. This time, the protagonist is a famous performer who wakes up with none of his credentials and without the trappings of fame that he has become accustomed to. In an attempt to get his (very nice) life back, he must weather an underground he has never known. In all, the book is very good and certainly thought-provoking. The presentation of that word is flawless in that it doesn't overexplain everything and leaves the reader guessing how things got the way that they were. I wouldn't call it a challenging read, but it does force the reader to ponder many topics, including fame, genetic modification, technology, campus activism, racism, and most of all, authoritarian force. So yeah, it's a Philip K. Dick story. Submitted By Cotton Coslett Department or Major Leatherby Libraries Status Staff Chapman Email coslett@chapman.edu
