When I read it, there it has more than ten years, I knew very little about the one that is on one of my favorite writers. So I threw on this biography as hunger in the world ... And I literally devoured from start to finish. When I closed, I told myself that Carrère could have called, "I may be alive but my life is the novel"! The vicissitudes of life Dick are so amazing that the reality often seems beyond fiction. It was undoubtedly his first subject of inspiration as he sometimes strange things, wacky and often tragic. I suggest to read about it how he decided to end his life and what came. This book therefore merely those who like Dick, especially since a French biography (successful!) Of an SF writer Anglo-Saxon, it's not so common as that. And it should also suit those that the strangeness of certain human natures attracting. Personally, I have made the choice of both.
