Descriptions du produit

From Library Journal

Written in the late 1950s and early 1960s, these titles follow Dick's familiar theme that things and people are not quite what and who they seem, basically challenging reality. Though dead for 20 years now, Dick still is hugely popular among sf readers and Blade Runner nuts, so pop for these.
Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


Product Description

When CIA agent Chuck Rittersdorf and his psychiatrist wife, Mary, file for divorce, they have no idea that in a few weeks they’ll be shooting it out on Alpha III M2, the distant moon ruled by various psychotics liberated from a mental ward. Nor do they suspect that Chuck’s new employer, the famous TV comedian Bunny Hentman, will also be there aiming his own laser gun. How things came to such a darkly hilarious pass is the subject of Clans of the Alphane Moon, an astutely shrewd and acerbic tale that blurs all conventional distinctions between sanity and madness. This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Neuroses, humor, and hope, Jui 7 2004
Par Doug Mackey (Fairfield, IA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Clans of the Alphane Moon (Paperback)
This is one of Dick's funniest novels, in spite of the fact that the plot centers on a lethal marital relationship-Chuck and Mary Rittersdorf are actually trying to kill each other. He is depressed and resigned in the midst of their breakup; she is bitchy and vindictive, planning to take him for all he is worth and more. Their showdown culminates out on the distant moon Alpha III M2, a former hospital world inhabited entirely by the clinically insane. The former patients have adapted well to having been left alone by psychiatrists, living in relative peace with each other by grouping into different "clans" according to their psychosis. Their social functions are defined by their type of abnormality. For example, the Pares (paranoids) live in Adolfville and constitute the statesman class. But there is nothing inherently crazier about their society than the one we find on Earth. It should be noted that the sanest and most empathetic character in the book is Lord Running Clam, a telepathic Ganymedean slime mold, who saves Chuck from suicide and lines him up with a more compatible woman. This is classic PKD with all his usual neuroses but also a good dose of humor and hope.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Classic Philip K. Dick, Nov. 19 2002
Par Margaret Dybala "too many books, too little time" (Pearland, Texas United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Clans of the Alphane Moon (Paperback)
This is really a silly book, but I love it anyway. Not for any greatness of writing, but for its inspired silliness in plot. Imagine a world (the alphane moon) where once there existed a hospital for the insane. Imagine that the moon was abandoned by all but the inmates, who manage to create their own society. I love it!! Many times in my life, I have wondered which clan I was currently a member of!! The wife of the protagonist is typical Philip K. Dick domineering, evil wife. One wonders about his personal relationships. At any rate, this is worth a quick read.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Hysterical and Unforgettable, Juil 25 2002
This review is from: Clans of the Alphane Moon (Paperback)
CLANS OF THE ALPHANE MOON has so many hysterical, sarcastic and insightful passages you'll want to memorize most of the book. It's a wild, weird, quick read that is a great introduction to Philip K. Dick for someone who wants to jump into the fanaticism headfirst. Those not quite ready for complete immersion in the reality shattering world of Philip K. Dick should look at "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" or "Time Out Of Joint" and then read "Clans", but don't skip this one. It's a real joy to read. Philip K. Dick's death is our loss!
