Pink Beam University Presents: The Total Dick-Head's Guide to Philip K. Dick.

 

(click image to embiggen)

Big news, folks: I've decided to go rogue and teach a PKD course via Zoom. A combination of draconian cuts at San Francisco State University (resulting in my reduced teaching load this spring) and a post-Covid culture uses Zoom, makes this course possible at long last. I am also at work on a full-length biography of PKD, and you know what they say, "The best way to really learn something is to teach it." 

I'm really excited about this for a number of reasons, most importantly, look at that list of guests (which is still growing)! There has never been ANYTHING like this in the world of Philip K. Dick. Longer and more in-depth than an academic conference, more star studded than a university class, this is punk rock literary criticism, the perfect vibe for a deep dive into Dick. The QR code on the flyer will take you to the class syllabus. Class starts January 30th and meets twice a week Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The course starts at $185 for members ($195 for non-members). 

Stay tuned. Things will be livening up here on the blog as we prepare for a Dick-tastic 2024 set to include both my class and the 2024 Dick-Fest in Ft. Morgan, Colorado

UPDATE: The class has been picked up by Morbid Anatomy, an online school of ephemera! Folks who have already signed up will be contacted, click here for more info and to enroll
