Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said

by Philip K Dick

Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

On October 11 the television star Jason Taverner is so famous that 30 million viewers eagerly watch his prime-time show. On October 12 Jason Taverner is not a has-been but a never-was — a man who has lost not only his audience but all proof of his existence. And in the claustrophobic betrayal state of Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, loss of proof is synonyms with loss of life.

As Taverner races to solve the riddle of his disappearance, Philip K. Dick immerses us in a horribly plausible United States in which everyone informs on everyone else, and the omniscient police have something to hide. His bleakly beautiful novel bores into the deepest bedrock self and plants a stick of dynamite at its center.

Review:

"Dick [was] many authors: a poor man's Pynchon, an oracular postmodern, a rich product of the changing counterculture" Village Voice
