Ursula made a comment about Phil "quietly going crazy in California" which got back to PKD and hurt him deeply. Ursula in letters called on PKD to improve the treatment of women in his fiction. When PKD finished Timothy Archer he wrote immediately to Ursula to talk about the success of his Angel character.Ragle Gummhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951340313214410331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184123882936370131.post-58227578885512834242021-01-07T19:06:35.041-08:002021-01-07T19:06:35.041-08:00I'm aware that Phil and Ursula respected each ...I'm aware that Phil and Ursula respected each other's work, but I'm not aware they were friends, as such.

As a working class reader he strikes a chord with me. His stories were mostly about living in a capitalist world where people worked crappy, low-paid jobs. I think his early novels are the ones that turn on his fans. HIGH CASTLE or THE MAN WHO JAPED and similar probably created more fans than VALIS.David Hydenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184123882936370131.post-57366709719627271132020-09-13T12:17:16.816-07:002020-09-13T12:17:16.816-07:00I love this article.
