Book Description
"Divine Invasions" is the first full-scale biography of Philip K. Dick, a brilliant writer who, working inside the science fiction field, created some of the most powerful and lasting visionary fiction of this century. This biography chronicles the story of a man whose life was truly as interesting as his own enduring work.
""Divine Invasions" is a perceptive introduction to Philip K. Dick's amazing talent. In Europe and Japan, Dick is regarded as a major American writer, without regard to genre. This new biography takes a large step toward earning Dick that same respect in his native country." -San Francisco Chronicle
"A century from now, two or three of Dick's novels are likely to be among the books by which people will understand this era and its fascination with subliminal manipulation of consciousness and the general origins and limits of consciousness... Lawrence Sutin's biography is a highly informative and fascinating attempt at establishing the fundamentals of Dick's life and work... Extremely useful... is a twenty-page chronological guide to the novels... This biography makes you like Philip K. Dick and makes you want to read his books." -Hungry Mind Review
"It is difficult to praise this book highly enough... Philip K. Dick is finally being accorded the same depth and detail as subjects far less deserving. As scholarship and research, Sutin's efforts are impeccable. As literature, the book is at once absorbing, intelligent and eminently readable... A must-read book for anyone interested in the psychology and art of this fascinating figure." -Trajectories
"An incisive, conscientious biography. Bravo." -Art Spiegelman
"The only biography I've ever read that's as exciting as a spy novel... Phil Dick's life was as weird and mysterious as any of his science fiction books." -Robert Anton Wilson

A "Fat" Lot of Good All of His Talks with the "Divinity" Did for Dick.......2007-08-19
Philip K Dick (PKD) was one of the most prolific and seminal science fiction writers of the sixties and seventies. Though like many writers, respect didn't come until just before and after his death (in 1982), those who spent a lot of those decades reading and writing SF, knew and respected his work. He is also the mentor of many of todays SF writers who take on SF from an internal point of view. But PKD was the first to explore the two questions of PsychSF-What is Reality? What is God?.
Through four decades of writing he never gave up his quest to write the 'big' mainstream novel. Why? More for the recognition of his place in the pantheon of American writers, but for sure for the money and notoriery (which go hand in hand). Here was a many of great talent who wanted to be Nora Robb or James Patterson. PKD felt that mainstream acceptance would allow him the ability to write what he wanted, not just what he thought would sell. Dick began as a 'hack' pulp writer in the fifties and never lost that edge or need to prove his worth in the 'normal' world.
He was immensely popular in both Japan and France (but then they also love Jerry Lewis and Woody Allen) where his novels were considered classics of man's struggle against "THE SYSTEM". They were also seen as strongly socialistic and anti-fascist in nature. His 'breakthought' book "The Man in the High Castle" is his most popular and moving of the genre.
As his got older and his life evolved or devolved (depending on your per- spective) his novels became more and more his musing on 'Reality'. Anyone who has read "A Scanner Darkly" will see how he always tried to analyze a thought down to it's infinite reality. Any idea you could have could be the flip side of another, and even those would be the flip side of some other question. Think of two yin-yangs painted on mirrors facing each other, giving the feeling of an infinity of images and you have PKD's insight into life and reality.
Was PKD crazy or schizophrenic? Well he was a man who had lots of demons not to mention gods but he saw life in his own reality (don't we all) and refused to have it pushed aside by others. His five marriages all ended in divorce and he had three children (two daughters and one son) by three of them. But his writings and musings have been left to us all to ponder as we wait for our next rebirth.
Very good biography of enigmatic often contradictory writer.......2007-05-20
Phil Dick was a difficult person. Sutin's book takes great pains to point out Dick's flaws as a human being but also his strong qualities as a person and writer. Dick was amazingly prolific because he had to be to survive. During his most prolific period he wrote novels that could be both unsatisfactory but with piercing, brilliant themes. At his best Dick tackled a number of questions that had profound personal meaning (the issue of identity, how we define human, the subjective nature of our sense of reality)but were universal enough to communicate to other artists. Dick like the best genre writers struggled to be accepted as a mainstream writer. The irony is that he is more influential than ever 25 years after his death having reached an entire generation of writers (including Jonathan Lethem, K.T. Jeter among others)and achieved financial success because of the films made from his short stories and novels (the best "Minority Report", "A Scanner Darkly", "Blade Runner" and a foreign film of "Confessions of a Crap Artist"--the worst "Paycheck", "Next" of which are at least moderately entertaining).
Sutin documents Dick's personal life interweaving the themes from his novels and how the two were related throughout his life. Dick was a surviving twin. His sister Jane died in infancy and Dick's unstable family life and his own bouts of depression with mental instability. A mercurical writer and individual when he was at the top of his game, Dick later believed that he had been visited by some essence of God and struggled to fit this visitation into some sort of rational perspective. Sutin treats Dick's statements mattter of factly without passing judgement but does relate comments both from Dick's friends and doctors in discussing how this impacted his art and personal life.
Well written, Sutin interviews family, friends, former friends (Dick and Harlan Ellison had a major falling out in the 70's as did Dick and Stanislaw Lem), Dick's therapists, former lovers, wives, enemies and uses Dick's journals to get at the heart of the author himself providing a well rounded, often disturbing picture of this talented artist. Evidently Dick was not an easy person to love but those that cared for him recognized his profound importance as a writer. Sutin also goes through Dick's novels and short story collections ranking them (from 1-10 in quality and importance)and providing fans an idea of his best and worst works.
DIVINE INVASIONS does need to be updated since Dick continues to be critically reappraised and recognized for his importance as a writer outside of the science fiction/fantasy genre. It would also allow Sutin to examine the films made from Dick's novels comparing the themes in both. Still, this is a thoughtful, comprehensive and intelligent biography. Phil Dick deserved nothing less.

Useful book for serious PKD readers.......2002-09-09
Sutin's sometimes sarcastic style might surprise the reader at first, but this is a very insightful look at the life and work of Philip K. Dick - it's also the most substantial book of its kind we have yet. Sutin does a good job of inserting his comments about the works while sharing with us their genesis at the same time; the analysis aspect of `Divine Invasions' is fairly limited, but since it's not a scholarly book, it doesn't disappoint. It reads somewhat like PKD's own novels and short stories, with Dick himself as the central character. The extracts from the Exegesis show PKD at his speculative best and made me want to read more. One more note: in the last section, Sutin offers a `guide' in which he rates PKD's books on a 1-10 internal scale, also providing capsule reviews of the works he didn't write about in the main narrative; it's sure to provoke arguments, as he thought it would. Serious PKD readers should definitely read this.
Philip K. Dick, Self-Devourer.......2002-09-05
By the time of his premature death in 1982, Philip K. Dick had shrewdly submitted and withdrawn so many hypothetical explanations for his chaotic life and unusual experiences that it made rational judgement and objective analysis impossible for those who were paying attention. Many people were paying attention, and waiting a little too passively for his every next pronouncement on the divine. What is amazing today isn't the great number of fans his science fiction work has generated globally, but the increasing deification of Dick as an illuminated cyberpunk guru and Fortean poster boy of the first order. Certainly Dick documented his experiences more thoroughly, if not more clearly, than most; but since millions of people experience paranormal or metaphysical phenomena every year, and some year after year as Dick did, exactly how and why does Dick stand out from the rest?
Lawrence Sutin's book, Divine Invasions: A Life of Philip K. Dick, doesn't attempt to answer this question, taking for granted as it does that Dick was a unique case and a genius; but it does given the general reader a broader overview of Dick's life than has thus far been available. Sutin states that he has respectfully declined to psychoanalyze or diagnose Dick; fair enough; but, considering the events of Dick's life, why not have given the finished text to a reputable psychiatrist for an opinion? Because Sutin, obviously an admirer of his subject, 'wants to believe,' as Dick did. Clearly, Dick, who believed his traumas at the hands of others began while still in the womb, had many legitimate physical, emotional and mental problems of a severe, documentable nature. While no psychiatrist's opinion is verity, in light of Dick's chronic drug addiction, institutionalizations, suicide attempts, and diagnoses of schizophrenia (his aunt was a catatonic schizophrenic), an objective analysis of the facts of Dick's life as it is currently understood would be helpful to fans, Forteans, and general readers alike. For those genuinely interested, separating the various facets of Dick's existence as carefully, cautiously, and sensitively as possible is a must, and the only proper route to an accurate understanding.
Dick had been paranoid, emotionally infantile, co-dependent, and narcissistic all of his adult life when he suffered his first 'Valis' ('Valid?' 'Validation?') experience in 1972. He was also too blinded by his own unconscious egotism-which was everywhere in evidence--to consider that what he-an avowed Gnostic--had experienced may simply have been a miraculous manifestation of the divine. Mystifier Dick spent the next 9 years anguishing over his experiences in private and public, often sounding like the madman he may have irregularly been and alienating friends and colleagues.
Though Dick claimed to be well-versed in Jung, he seems never to have applied himself to Jung's The Psychology of The Transference, a book which concisely offers an explanation for Dick's visionary, archetypal experiences without in the least flattening them into dusty meaninglessness (Jung states: "The unconscious manifests itself in a sudden incomprehensible invasion.") Considering the hatred Dick harbored for his parents throughout his lifetime, it's unfortunate he didn't stringently apply himself to Freud as well. For backward-looking, Oroborous-like Dick never tired of habitually swallowing his own tail. His vision of an immense evil face in the clouds-which he readily identified with his father--and his 'Valis' experiences--whatever else they may have been---point directly to both a highly charged and constellated father complex and a gaping maw of family romance. Dick consciously recognized his morbid ties to his family, but blithely moved beyond these, favoring KGB agents, CIA mind control, beams from distant planets, orbiting satellites and shadowy conspiracies as the more likely culprits. Like a 1970s Richard Shaver, Dick went out on some very long, thin, and unsupportable limbs to attempt to justify his experiences, as if Plato's allegory of the cave had never entered the historical record.
When the Christian god eventually manifests in a prolonged vision and establishes itself to Dick as the true force generating 'Valis,' Dick decides to accept this deity--for a few months anyway--but not before suggesting to 'God' that the two of them are one and equivalent. Dick completed over a million words of nonfiction speculation on the nature of these experiences, and Sutin writes that Dick's final estimation of 'Valis' was that "knowledge-not mere faith-as to the true 'hyper-structure' of the universe is possible." Funny, that's something any intelligent person knows just out of the gate. Astronomy, physics, the Neoplatonists, anyone?
Dick also seems to have conveniently failed to make the conspicuously obvious jump concerning psychic contamination. Before the 'Valis' incidents, he had written two novels (one, UBIK = 'Ubiquitous?') which dealt with strange amorphorous godlike entities who intrude unexpectedly on mortal men with devastating results. Why then didn't he draw the more reasonable conclusion that the explanation for 'Valis' could be found within his imagination and himself? Dick was not the first creative personality to experience seemingly divine inspiration; from Blake, Rilke, and Yeats to Robert Frost, Keith Richards and Tori Amos, the phenomena is universally experienced but little understood.
Clearly an ardent fan, author Sutin occasionally presents his material in too subjective a fashion. Readers may also reject Sutin's following claims: that modern science fiction does not stem from the early work of Wells, Verne, Huxley and others; that Dick was the first novelist ever to mention the I-Ching in an American work of fiction (Sutin must have read several hundred thousand books to verify this); and, perhaps mistaking a publishing house for an audience, that William Burroughs is a 'mainstream' American writer. Most glaringly, Sutin repeats the global error of stating that 'Fred' in 'A Scanner Darkly' does not realize he is also Robert Arctor, the person Fred has been assigned to surveil.
Fans of Dick's work, and especially those who share his seedy if prescient sensibilities, will find the book fascinating. With all the new information concerning Dick's life coming to light, the book is deservingly in need of a careful revision.
Only Apparently Real.......2002-04-03
This is Lawrence Sutin's best book (well, of the three that I've read). It's also the best book on Dick I've found, and it's about as engrossing as some of Dick's better novels. There's a lot of stuff in here, but I wolfed it down pretty quickly.
The various troubled relationships, paranoid experiences (and attitudes), drug experimentation, and transcendental experiences are discussed here in some detail. We get lots of stories from Dick's ex-wives and such discussing his writing habits and nervous behavior.
I found particularly helpful the bibliography (with plot summaries) at the end of the book. It's depressing how much of Dick's work is still out of print.
A great book on a great American writer. Anyone who wants to go further might look at IN SEARCH OF VALIS, also by Sutin.
Book Description
November 11, 1918. The final hours pulsate with tension as every man in the trenches hopes to escape the melancholy distinction of being the last to die in World War I. The Allied generals knew the fighting would end precisely at 11:00 A.M, yet in the final hours they flung men against an already beaten Germany. The result? Eleven thousand casualties suffered–more than during the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Why? Allied commanders wanted to punish the enemy to the very last moment and career officers saw a fast-fading chance for glory and promotion.
Joseph E. Persico puts the reader in the trenches with the forgotten and the famous–among the latter, Corporal Adolf Hitler, Captain Harry Truman, and Colonels Douglas MacArthur and George Patton. Mainly, he follows ordinary soldiers’ lives, illuminating their fate as the end approaches. Persico sets the last day of the war in historic context with a gripping reprise of all that led up to it, from the 1914 assassination of the Austrian archduke, Franz Ferdinand, which ignited the war, to the raw racism black doughboys endured except when ordered to advance and die in the war’s last hour. Persico recounts the war’s bloody climax in a cinematic style that evokes All Quiet on the Western Front, Grand Illusion, and Paths of Glory.
The pointless fighting on the last day of the war is the perfect metaphor for the four years that preceded it, years of senseless slaughter for hollow purposes. This book is sure to become the definitive history of the end of a conflict Winston Churchill called “the hardest, cruelest, and least-rewarded of all the wars that have been fought.”

A New Look At An Old War.......2007-05-07
Just when I thought everything that could be written about World War I had been written, I found this book. Eleventh Month, Eleventh Day, Eleventh Hour takes a fresh approach to this dreadful war. By focusing on the last day and flashing back to some of the worst moments, and some of the best, Joseph Persico brings a fresh perspective to World War I; its battles, generals, and the home front. It reads like a novel.
A fair but not great book by Great War standards.......2006-09-27
"Eleventh Month, Eleventh Day, Eleventh Hour" by Joseph Persico is not at all a bad book. If it were an account about an earlier or later war, I might have rated it at four or five stars. However, this book chronicles the Great War, a war that has produced the finest and most captivating masterpieces in fiction (All Quiet on the Western Front, A Farewell to Arms) and nonfiction (The Guns of August, The Price of Glory) alike. When, for example, it is compared to Alistair Horne's account of the battle of Verdun ("The Price of Glory") Persico's book falls flat.
The title (Eleventh Month, Eleventh Day, Eleventh Hour) seems to imply that the book will focus primarily on the events of the last day of the Great War. While many other WWI accounts will recall the last days with high-profile events such as the Kaiser's abdication or the German representatives' visit to Foch for terms, few mention how the trenches were blazing with gunfire and artillery right up to the final seconds of the Armistice. This is where Persico's book does well, although in my opinion he missed an opportunity to do better. Persico confined the actual account of the final day to a few chapters while scattering the personal accounts to bite-sized excerpts over several preceding chapters--chapters that chronicle the entire war from August 1914.
The personal accounts of the last days of the war were good but were unfortunately diluted by Persico's impulse to retell the war in its entirety. My only explanation for why Persico recounted the whole conflict was to make his book more palatable to lay readers. Oddly, many other authors (such as the fore-mentioned Horne) have a little more faith in their audience's ability to recall at least the basic course of the war. If readers need to brush up on their WWI history in order to understand the intended focus of this book, there is no shortage of great World War I overviews (such as those by AJP Taylor or a recent work by John Keegan.)
As with any book on the Great War, Persico does well in conveying the immense tragedy of the conflict from both sides on the Western Front. The diary and memior excerpts included in the book are not only from the American, British, and French perspective, but many German accounts are included as well.
As I have previously stated, "Eleventh Month, Eleventh Day, Eleventh Hour" is not a bad read, but it simply lags in its special classification as a WWI account. For those that have read a multitude of Great War literature (fiction & nonfiction), they will likely be disappointed in the lack of new information presented in this book.
the big, the small, the whole picture.......2005-11-20
There are many who have not read every First Great war book out there, and this is a good one for such to read (even though I have read many). The author admirably gives us what's going on in each phase of the war, and details each battle in a style of Strategy, then Big-Picture, then Zoom in showing the viewpoint of an individual corporal or captain. Plenty of descriptions of what corps or brigades must do and obstacles, but also plenty of quotes from diaries and letters and journals of participants. It doesn't matter that two hundred authors have given the big picture; you must still give your own version of the big picture in order to fit your new private letters quotes and details in it. But I must say this is not a fun read: Here's one detail:
"During the fight the men under MacArthur imagined they had witnessed every permutation of human suffering until they observed the fate of private Jim Gallagher, 168th Infantry. In an anemy night attack illuminated by star shells, a flare lodged in Gallagher's gut. There was nothing his comrades could do to remove the hissing projectile but watch the man die in agony."
I've read several recent Civil War offerings and see that today's history trend is offering diaries, letters-back-home and journals from corporals, privates and lieutenants; Persico has followed this with much illuminating source content; but he had to give the brigade and corps picture, the generals and strategies too, so we can fit the small into the big and get a clear picture, and Persico fully gives us this. The notes and bib pages, in packed small print, total twenty-seven pages (plenty for volumes way under six or seven hundred pages; this text is 410), including not only books but journals, archives, and gov docs collections, covering the gamut from 1914 to 1999. This is not stale stuff, we get a fresh lot in a full picture of the early glory-seeking and later "just survive!" actions and feelings, the soldiers' downtime and the few up times; and it's a balanced picture between the Brits, the French, the AEF (American Expeditionary Force) and the Germans; the privates, and the generals.
Here's another in it: "Troops of the 37th and 79th Divisions were arrayed before Montfaucon, a hill dominating the center of the front. Its earth was steeped in ancient blood. More than a thousand years before, men had died on its slopes in battles between warring tribes. Rain appeared to be the inevitable concomitant of a new offensive on the western front, including this day. Numerous creeks crisscrossing the region flooded and turned fields into quagmires. Troops dumped tens of thousand of sandbags into washed-out roadbeds to allow supply wagons to reach the front. The infantrymen had to lay down duckboards to advance."
I sure can't quote whole pages here, but every chapter gives good stuff: you hear and touch and smell every forest, every road, every mudpit, every man, besides see it like you are there; and thus gain the understanding. One could easily wish to choose 200 paragraphs to quote trying to give a picture of the illuminating success of this author's efforts: you could in fact read only this book to get a competent view of the daily doings and surviving efforts, and criminal career-motivated orders of many commanders, leading to his main point.
He drives home his point of exactly why the men who died that final November morning didn't have to: nothing gained, wasted lives. And woe to infantry advancing against entrenched machine guns.
"In Flanders fields...".......2005-10-11
Everyone seems to know the exact time and date of the end of the Great War, but very few realize that the Allies were fighting right up until the last minute. This book examines the stupidity that condemned more than 6500 men to death, and thousands more to permanent injury, after it had been determined that the war was going to end at a certain time. There really was no good excuse for action up to the last minute, as this book very ably shows, but that's what happened, and it's a story that doesn't always get told. I do agree with the conclusion of the author: the only consequence of the Great War was that it led directly to World War II. Read this book, and you will once again be astounded by the utter stupidity of the way-behind-the -front -lines generals and their staffs.
An Anthology of Great War Accounts .......2005-06-23
It is difficult, perhaps impossible, at this distance in time to add anything original to the Anglo-American literature on the Great War. The protagonists are dead, so primary source research is not really an option. Under the circumstances, Persico does the best he can with secondary source material. But the result, for readers even somewhat familiar with the literature, is an unoriginal book that adds little, if anything, to what one knows about that conflict. The book ends up being a kind of anthology of other people's writings on the War. The only way out of this conundrum is to write from a truly neutral perspective, or even from the perspective of the Germans. As long as the perspective remains Anglo-American, where the Germans are the bad chaps, I don't see how anything new can be said about this subject. That.... or, we have to hope that someone discovers long-lost documents of state in a proverbial attic that shows the protagonists in a whole new light!
Book Description
In this dramatic reconstruction of the daily lives of the earliest tool-making humans, two leading anthropologists reveal how the first technologies-- stone, wood, and bone tools-- forever changed the course of human evolution.
Drawing on two decades of fieldwork around the world, authors Kathy Schick and Nicholas Toth take readers on an eye-opening journey into humankind's distant past-- traveling from the savannahs of East Africa to the plains of northern China and the mountains of New Guinea-- offering a behind-the-scenes look at the discovery, excavation, and interpretation of early prehistoric sites.
Based on the authors' unique mix of archaeology and practical experiments, ranging from making their own stone tools to theorizing about the origins of human intelligence, "Making Silent Stones Speak" brings the latest ideas about human evolution to life.

Origins of many things.......2003-12-19
This book is about the beginnings of technology, an almost exclusively human trait. The idea of using materials in such a way as to benefit daily life or perform task that we, as individuals, are unable to do is a giant step into the unknown. The author discusses tool-making in all its many facets. It is now considered very possible that tool-making contributed to an exapansion of brain possibilities but in fact made us into something different that the surrounding creatures with whom we fought and lived.
The idea of artificial means toward an end catapulted mankind and gave us control of our surroundings. No longer were large beasts from out of our grasp. The type and variation of the various stone blades is mind-boggling but the interpretation is just about as creative. The sharing of this technology with other humans started a process of spreading knowledge that has continued up to this day.
The author's hands-on experience was also an additional aid to her findings. She is in no sense an "ivory towered" scholar but actively explores and examines the subjects in her book. Best of all are her conjectures concerning the origins and more importantly, the "why" of technology.

Book Description
Controversy inevitably accompanies attempts at land protection, even in cases of large, uninhabited, economically marginal locations. In 1994, for example, the California Desert Protection Act created the Mojave National Preserve, the third largest national park in the lower forty-eight states. The act transferred three million acres of southern California desert from the Bureau of Land Management to the National Park Service. As a result, explains Elisabeth M. Hamin, the National Park Service became a multiple-use manager, balancing its official mission of environmental protection with oversight of such activities as hunting, ranching, and mining.
In Mojave Lands: Interpretive Planning and the National Preserve, Hamin explains how this new role came about. Drawing on interviews with people on various sides of the issue -- from mining lobbyists to local ecotourism operators, legislators to gun advocates -- she shows how the differing parties argued and compromised over land protection. From their success, Hamin derives lessons for reimagining national parks to achieve broadly shared goals.
Introducing the concept of "interpretive planning" -- a method that takes into account conflicting views of all interested parties -- she offers explicit steps for the planner and policy analyst to use. This book will appeal to scholars and students in environmental studies, planning and landscape architecture and history, as well as professionals in planning, resource management, the National Park Service, and related conservation organizations, public and private.
