The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick

I came to age in the late 1960s and I can remember spending many hours reading comic books by R. Crumb. I will always be a fan. I recently purchased a large bag full of Phillip K. Dick books, and here again, I can remember hiding away in a corner to read and reread a Dick paperback.

Combine the two and you have the Religious Experience of P.K. Dick written and Illustrated by R. Crumb.

From SF Signal:

In 1974 after having his wisdom teeth removed, Philip K. Dick experienced a profound religious experience. Pumped full of Sodium Pentathol, Dick answered the door to meet a girl from the pharmacy who was delivering his pain medications (if only they delivered now) and, upon seeing her golden fish pendant, experienced what he called ‘anamnesis’.

anamnesis: The idea that the acquisition of knowledge is a process of remembering what you already know – from Plato.
