为什么值得读
- 比后期深奥作品更容易进入
- 见证其形而上学思想的演进过程
- 包含对尼克松时代政治的尖锐讽刺
一部科幻小说，对美国历史展开了一段狂野而极富远见的另类想象。时值1969年，一位偏执的总统发起了一场针对虚构内部敌人的残酷战争，令美国陷入动荡。随着国家滑向法西斯主义，身处困境的科幻作家Philip K. Dick正竭力避免成为这场战争的牺牲品。与此同时，Dick最要好的朋友——一位名叫Nicholas Brady的唱片公司高管——正接收来自外星智慧生命的传讯，他将其称为Valis，而这个存在显然希望他能推翻总统。

VALIS 三部曲和他的《解经》（exegesis）大概是他最具哲学深度、但也几乎最晦涩难懂的作品。他中期的一些东西，像《流吧！我的眼泪》（Flow My Tears the Policeman Said）和《自由阿尔贝姆特电台》（Radio Free Albemuth）切入起来就平缓得多，你能看到引向他晚期作品的思想是如何从他早期相对浅显的形而上学中慢慢构建起来的。我去年按他的写作顺序重读了全部作品——读完的感觉是……
The VALIS trilogy and his exegesis are probably the most philosophical but almost most impenetrable of his works. Some of his intermediate period stuff, like Flow My Tears the Policeman Said and Radio Free Albemuth is a softer landing, as you can see the ideas that lead to his later work building from his earlier more facile metaphysics. I re-read his corpus last year in the order he wrote them -and finished feeling…
……粉，我大体上赞同这些划重点的选择。我唯一的进一步建议是，也许可以归入最后的“灵与肉”分类，或者推荐给对这位作者已经有些了解的人：《自由阿尔贝姆特电台》（Radio Free Albemuth）。这书背后有段很有意思的往事：出版商似乎对小说里的政治内容不满并要求修改，PKD 拒绝了——这书部分内容是对尼克松时代政治的辛辣讽刺……
…fan I broadly agree with the highlighting choices. My only further suggestion would be, maybe for the final "body and soul" category or maybe for those who already have some familiarity with the author, Radio Free Albemuth. This has an interesting history: PKD declined to make changes requested by the publishers who appeared unhappy with the novel's political content - it is in part a biting satire on Nixon era politics…
我找 AI 帮了点忙，也可能是我自己产生了幻觉，但读 Philip K Dick 的 VALIS 三部曲/《自由阿尔贝姆特电台》时，有两组对立的意象深深印在我的脑子里：棕榈树花园正午灼人的酷暑、哪怕闭着眼也是一片猩红的烈日；而到了夜晚，则是一种解脱，一种未被监视的状态。……
I've asked AI to help some, and maybe it's me who hallucinated it, but something that's super stuck with me from reading Philip K Dick's VALIS trilogy/Radio Free Albemuth were two dual modes: of the scorching mid-day heat of the Palm Tree Garden, a sweltering heat of the sun/that red even with your eyes closed, then at night, a sort of relief, an un-watched-over state.…
……老婆聊绝版珍本书。我提这个只是为了假装自己是个行家，而且我 100% 同意这条评论。《尤比克》（Ubik）太牛了，而且相当难读。我再补充几本神作：《流吧！我的眼泪》（Flow My Tears）、《自由阿尔贝姆特电台》（Radio Free Albemuth）、《血钱博士》（Dr. Bloodmoney）和《强夺枪》（The Zap Gun）。
…wife about rare books. I say this to convey ersatz authority on the subject, and I 100% agree with this comment. Ubik is fantastic, and quite hard to read. I’ll add a few more bangers, Flow My Tears, Radio Free Albemuth, Dr. Bloodmoney, and The Zap Gun.
……非常棒的作品，但我认为你得先对 PKD 相当熟悉，才能真正体会它们的精妙，看清他的风格和思想是如何演进的。——VALIS 三/四部曲（《瓦利斯》/《神圣入侵》/《自由阿尔贝姆特电台》/《蒂莫西·阿彻的轮回》）。从这里开始你就得深入 PKD lore 了，而且你应该去读读他的生平，了解这些作品的创作背景。——绝大多数短篇小说……
…very good stuff, but I think you need to be already well acquainted with PKD to fully appreciate them and see how his style and ideas were developing. - The Valis Tri/Tetralogy (Valis/Divine Invasion/Radio Free Albemuth/The Transmigration of Timothy Archer). That's where you start to get deep into PKD lore, and you should read about his life to get the context in which they were written. - Most of the short stories…
……你看过他的作品，那你可真错过了大头——它是不错，但绝不是他最好的。我会推荐以下这些，当然你想忽略也完全随意：《尤比克》（Ubik）、《流吧！我的眼泪》（Flow my tears, the policeman said）、《血钱博士》（Dr Bloodmoney）、《自由阿尔贝姆特电台》（Radio Free Albemuth）、《脱线时代》（Time out of joint）、《暗黑扫描》（A scanner darkly）、《玛丽与巨人》（Mary and the giant）。最后顺便提一句，Thomas Disch 的《334》。冷知识：Dick 曾向联邦调查局告发 Disch，因为他觉得 Disch 在宣扬反美观点。这些信件……
…his you’ve read, you’re really missing out - it’s good, but not his best. I would recommend, and you are welcome to ignore should you choose: Ubik Flow my tears, the policeman said Dr Bloodmoney Radio Free Albemuth Time out of joint A scanner darkly Mary and the giant And finally as an aside, 334 by Thomas Disch. Fun fact: Dick shopped Disch to the feds for in his view pedalling anti-American views. These letters…
