Book Reviews of The Dark Haired Girl
Book Review: for fans only, but very interesting
Summary: 4 Stars
DHG is of biographical interest to us hardcore PKD fans, and I doubt it would mean much to those who are not familiar with his life. This book covers an interesting and gloomy period (circa. 1970) of PKD's life, and deals with people and events that are given little attention in that seminal biography, Sutin's Divine Invasions. As the above reviewer has noted, the material forms what would later be A Scanner Darkly. The book itself (esp. the cover art) is very tasteful, and the book is quite rare, so it is one for collectors. PKD one said that his poetry was terrible, and the poem in this book is living proof of that:-)The two major essays in this book, "The Android and the Machine" and "Man, Android, and Machine" are also in the more complete "Shifting Realities of PKD" so I would recommend that book over this one for those reasons, but for those of us who have to have them all...
