Ingram

To Jack, the socially autistic "crap artist" of this devastating domestic tragicomedy set in Northern California in the 1950s, the Earth is hollow and sunlight has weight. But as seen by this innocent, Jack's sister and brother-in-law are just as sealed off from reality--and far more destructive in their obsessions. This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Best of Dick's mainstream novels, Jui 4 2004
Par Doug Mackey (Fairfield, IA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Confessions of a Crap Artist (Paperback)
This book, written in 1959 and finally published in 1975, was the first of Dick's mainstream novels to appear in book form. In many ways it is probably the best: its multi-focal narration offers inside glimpses into the minds of two of Dick's most fascinating characters-the "crap artist" Jack Isidore and his sister Fay Hume. The novel derives its energy from the juxtaposition of their radically different perspectives. Jack was the classic nerd in high school, who was obsessed with pseudoscience and adolescent power fantasies, which if anything have intensified as he has grown into his thirties. Faye is impulsive, uninhibited, outspoken, and aggressively sexual. But the root of her attractiveness lies in her ability to live in the moment with a seeming intensity and freedom. This combination is potent in tempting Nat Anteil, a young student, away from his wife, while driving Fay's husband Charlie to a violent end. The predictably tragic consequences of this situation put the reader in the odd position of identifying with the nerd, whose emotionally stunted state make him an ideal and acute observer of the passionate madness of the other characters.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Classic Stuff, Sep 23 2003
Par Steve West (Adelaide, Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Confessions of a Crap Artist (Paperback)
This was the first of Dick's mainstream novels I read, it made me wonder what kind of mainstream writer Dick would have made had he found more success in the genre (was the 50's society he wrote about too conservative to accept these novels?).
Even though this story is set in a 50's environment, it doesn't miss a beat in any regard, Confessions of a Crap Artist is as engrossing and page-turning a book as any of his science fiction novels. The way the story unfolds keeps you at the edge of your seat and you may find yourself laughing at the insanity of regular, seemingly successful people who dig themselves into giant ruts by involving themselves with people when they should know better.
If you like Phillip K. Dick's work you must read this novel, if you buy it it will take a valued place in your collection.
