>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.

Taverner races to solve the riddle of his disappearance", immerses us in a horribly plausible Philip K. Dick United States in which everyone -- from a waiflike forger of identity cards to a surgically altered pleasure -- informs on everyone else, a world in which 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.

    This is maybe one of the easiest book to read (by PKD), well written and with not so many characters and side stories. I liked it a lot, even if I have to second another reader's opinion that the solution of the crime (and of the story) is un-defendable (in this sense, the book is "unsustainable"), even in Dick's "territory".
    Yet I think is a book to read, that's why I gave it 4 stars.

  • Not one of the best Dick novels. The mystery pushing the reader onwards through all the book is solved with such an absurd and unrealistic explanation that I ended up feeling somehow cheated.
