Musings that we can spy on,
By
This review is from: The Exegesis Selections (Hardcover)
As a diarist myself I am interested in what other people jot down - their inner thoughts. I wonder how much they are censored by hidden rules of the mind, just as I am. There are things that, regrettably, I find difficult or impossible to write. But Philip Dick was no ordinary person and I have always admired the lucid way in which he can convey complex thoughts. In fact, it seems to me that his writing ought to be tedious if not boring, but somehow he has managed to make interesting the inner musings of his characters without getting bogged down and impeding the progress of the story. Here, in the Exegesis extracts, we see his own inner musings, and at times they do get tedious, almost embarrassing. But there is so much of interest, material for an in depth study of an unusual mind for someone equipped with the skill and will to do it. For my own, I prefer reading the novels and short stories but can't help being fascinated by these other writings too.
