Phillip K Dick Paper

[Kondoru]

Many years ago I found a paperback of talksfrom a 70s sf conference.

one in particular I would like to read again.

It was by Phillip K Dick

He wasnt able to attend, but someone did, and read his paper for him. (Given his phobias this is unsuprising)

I recall he talked a lot about Pericles, and Pericles wearing a mask.

It was barking, but highly readable barking.

Anyone seen this book?

Yes, thats the one.

Fascinating, isnt it?

And barking...

Where was it published...the other papers were interesting too.

Apparently, if only eventually ...

... Explorations of the Marvellous, edited by Peter Nicholls (1978, previously published as Science Fiction at Large, 1976). It was a collection of essays by speakers at the 1975 Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) festival on science/speculative fiction

I have that book! The Thomas M. Disch one is very good, as is the Alan Garner.
