I Am Alive and You Are Dead - A Journey into the Mind of Philip K. Dick

An unconventional biography of Philip K. Dick by French novelist Emmanuel Carrère, translated from the French by Timothy Bent. Rather than a conventional chronological account, Carrère moves through Dick's life and work from the inside, adopting something close to Dick's own perspective and inhabiting his anxieties, obsessions, and visionary experiences as narrative material. The approach makes the book read more like fiction than biography in places, which is both its strength and its limitation as a reference work. First American edition.
