Octavo, cloth. "In a horrid alternative timeline, America won the Vietnam War and the dictatorial Richard M. Nixon is still president in the 1980s. The novelist Phil Dick (who, in our world, died in 1982) attempts to rectify this. A tour de force in which Bishop plays with Dick's favorite reality-changing themes." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 318. Bishop "has created an homage that avoids the trap of pastiche, a novel that succeeds in its own right as a witty alternate history." - Michael A. Morrison, SF & Fantasy Book Review Annual 1988. Arthur C. Clarke Award finalist, 1989. [Reference: Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-126]. Fine in fine dust jacket. (4187).
