Book Reviews from the Sf Press
BOOK REVIEWS FROM THE SF PRESS Solar Lottery Anthony Boucher: Fantasy & Science Fiction August 1955, p. 94 Philip K. Dick’s SOLAR LOTTERY (Ace, 35 cents) is kept from a Grade A rating only by a tendency, in both its nicely contrasted plots, to dwindle away at the end. This first novel by one of the most interesting new magazine writers (one of F&SF’s discoveries, I may add proudly) creates a strange and highly convincing and self-consistent future society, peculiarly governed by Games Theory and the principle of randomness; against this background, built up with the detail of a Heinlein and the satire of a Kornbluth, it relates a taunt melodrama of political conflict and a stirring space-quest to rediscover a lost tenth planet. P. Schuyler Miller: Astounding Science Fiction November 1955, p. 151 Here’s another demonstration that you get a whale of a lot for your money from Ace. “Solar Lottery” is in the van Vogt tradition, taking a man with a mission, involving him hopelessly in a society built on a novel concept of science or philosophy, and allowing all sorts of unseen forces to prowl and putter behind the scenes. This time the gimmick is not non-Aristotelian semantics but von Neumann’s Theory of Games, which the author has built up as the mainspring of a Twenty-third Century planetary lottery whose one winner, the Quizmaster, is dictator of mankind until an assassin cuts him down or the “bottle” – never quite explained – twitches someone else in his place. Outside the Game, those who have special skills useful to the manufacturing combines may sell themselves into absolute serfdom, while those who have only manual skills are “unclassified” and hopeless. -

Antonio Rodríguez Babiloni Biografía: Philip. K. Dick (1928-1982) Nació prematuramente, junto a su hermana gemela Jane, el 2 de marzo 1928, en Chicago. Jane murió trágicamente pocas semanas después. La influencia de la muerte de Jane fue una parte dominante de la vida y obra de Philp K. Dick. El biógrafo Lawrence Sutin escribe; ...El trauma de la muerte de Jane quedó como el suceso central de la vida psíquica de Phil Dos años más tarde los padres de Dick, Dorothy Grant y Joseph Edgar Dick se mudaron a Berkeley. A esas alturas el matrimonio estaba prácticamente roto y el divorcio llegó en 1932, Dick se quedó con su madre, con la que se trasladó a Washington. En 1940 volvieron a Berkeley. Fue durante este período cuando Dick comenzó a leer y escribir ciencia ficción. En su adolescencia, publicó regularmente historias cortas en el Club de Autores Jovenes, una columna el Berkeley Gazette. Devoraba todas las revistas de ciencia-ficción que llegaban a sus manos y muy pronto empezó a ser influido por autores como Heinlein y Van Vogt. -

One disserta- tion on Philip K. Dick had already appeared as a book (by Kim Stanley Robinson) and Dick, though I loved his work, just wasn’t that well known or respected (not then). Plus, I was liv- ing in a mud hut and teaching people to use oxen for plowing: how would I ever be able to do the work that would be needed to turn my study from dissertation to book?

PKD OTAKU No 19 (Final Draft)
PKD OTAKU no 19 (final draft) “Finding the dark-haired girl” by marc oberst Lately I felt like re-reading "the dark-haired girl" by Philip K. Dick another time. I chose the limited German version again released by the fantasic edition phantasia. It follows the author's original concept without the added material by Paul Williams – not that I did not like to read all the bonus material Paul collected for us, but while reading the wonderfully translated & edited book by Joachim Körber I felt closer to Phil, like reading his diaries with him sitting besides, not like documents about a dead personality. This more personal than fictive book had already given me a better view on my private situation of love when I was just 14 years. I am writing "more personal than fictive" as this collection of letters and dreams is – besides all the facts that could be proven to be based on reality – a quite fictional text since Phil believed like nearly all the modern novels and screenplays about love do to finally finding the one girl that would save him for the rest of his life. This romantic idea of love is what I would call "fictive" as two pages later it is the same situation but with another girl. And Phil, still believing with the same intensity. On and on. Samsara – Buddhism’s wheel of reincarnation is what comes to my mind recognizing the repeating stories about his luck and pain. At the end of this book he seemingly made peace with all the mentioned girls and found at least for some time a painless way of living, his way out of the never ending circle. -

il Nome nel testo — XIV, 2012 MIRKO TAVOSANIS CREAZIONE DI NOMI E CREAZIONE DI PAROLE NELL’OPERA DI PHILIP K. DICK 1. Introduzione Alla fine del millennio, Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) ha goduto di fama internazionale come uno degli scrittori più innovativi e interessanti del se- condo Novecento. In Italia e in Francia, in particolare, la stima nei suoi confronti era già notevole negli anni Sessanta nel circolo dei lettori di fan- tascienza, ma nei decenni successivi si è spostata verso fasce di pubblico di- verse e più ampie.1 La fama ha portato anche una maggiore informazione sulle sue vicende biografiche, e oggi, riguardando retrospettivamente la sua carriera e i mate- riali pubblicati postumi, è evidente che, alla fine degli anni Quaranta, Dick aveva ambizioni di scrittore “convenzionale” nella San Francisco (o più correttamente, nella Bay Area) del tempo – più o meno in contemporanea con la formazione, nello stesso ambiente, della narrativa beat. Gli inizi della sua carriera furono però definiti dadue fatti: l’insuccesso assoluto come scrittore “convenzionale” (non riuscì a farsi pubblicare nulla) e il riscontro ottenuto invece come scrittore di fantascienza, su riviste che a quel tempo rappresentavano ancora un genere popolare di intrattenimento. A differenza di molti suoi colleghi americani di successo, dopo quella che Fabio Gadducci e io abbiamo chiamato, in altri interventi, la frattura del 1958 nella cultura popolare americana, Dick non smise di scrivere fantascienza. An- zi, rilanciò, per il mercato delle riviste digest e dei libri tascabili, e continuò a riscuotere successo nel settore, vincendo nel 1963 il premio Hugo, il massimo riconoscimento della fantascienza scritta americana, per il romanzo The man in the high castle (1962). -

Dick (Escritor de Ciencia Ficción, Chicago, 1928 - 1982) fue un genio, obsesivo tal vez, casi paranoico, pero un genio. Constructor de mundos alternativos, maestro en cuestionar y desmontar lo que entendemos por real, produjo ciencia ficción seria y asequible para el gran público. Fue un escritor consistente y brillante, y de los más originales del género. Curiosamente, es mucho más apreciado en Europa que en los propios USA y hay países, donde él es el escritor SF por excelencia, detrás de otros como Asimov o Clarke. -
