This belongs among other postmodern books like Pale Fire and Gravity's Rainbow where the author is a character in the story.

This book is awesome Despite the fact that it is at least 40% by volume a crazy person pouring out his real, legitimate mental illness on the page, and that it's the type of mental illness that is typically the worst by far - the kind where the person thinks they're talking to God. What makes it incredible is that Dick knows he's crazy. But he also wants to be right.
