false 698034 21 <b>Time Out of Joint</b> is Philip K. Dick's classic depiction of the disorienting disparity between the world as we think it is & the world as it actually is. The year is 1998, although Ragle Gumm doesn't know that. He thinks it's 1959. He also thinks he served in WWII, that he lives in a quiet little community & that he's really the world's long-standing champion of newspaper puzzle contests. It is only after a series of troubling hallucinations that he begins to suspect otherwise. Once he pursues his suspicions, he begins to see how he's the center of a universe gone terribly awry. 87770 book 1959 Time Out of Joint total:905|5:195|4:367|3:288|2:49|1:6| 905 3411 1197 50 4 2 false false Wed Mar 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 07 06:06:42 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 11 11:21:10 -0700 2009 with an occasional whisper of an occasional frisson of some deep wrongness.

I have to think reading this book when it came out in 1959 would have been a much different experience than reading it today.
