Valis is the first book in Philip K. Dick's incomparable final trio of novels (the others being are The Divine Invasion and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer ). This disorienting and bleakly funny work is about a schizophrenic hero named Horselover Fat; the hidden mysteries of Gnostic Christianity; and reality as revealed through a pink laser. Valis is a theological detective story, in which God is both a missing person and the perpetrator of the ultimate crime.
"The fact that what Dick is entertaining us about is reality and madness, time and death, sin and salvation--this has escaped most critics. Nobody notices that we have our own homegrown Borges, and have had him for thirty years."--Ursula K. Le Guin, New Republic
I realize now that Yeats's statement, 'I am an immortal soul tied to the body of a dying animal' is diametrically opposite to the actual state of affairs vis-a-vis the huaman condition. (查看原文)

好棒！开头的瓦伦丁派诺斯替式世界观还显得比较光明，结果结尾变成了这样pkd你这混蛋，不过好在只是三部曲的第一部。各种诺斯替佛教基督教神话神学都非常有趣，这样对同样的现象的多种解读一点也不乏味，古代与现代的符号密码暗示相互交织，各种神学加上集体潜意识的描写使得薄薄一本书显得格外宏大，另外valis的电影情节部分都可以单独拿出来拍了

相对于Divine Invasion 和主教轮回没有那么紧密的剧情节奏，可以说是非常零碎了，像是他的一次思想实验，对自己超验体验的一个极其疯狂和不稳定的变奏，神学哲学和诺斯替主义的色彩炸成一团，但又能隐约看到一条主线。建议阅读顺序中把这本放到最后，因为太难啃了，但又是研究他绕不过去的一个弯。
