a happy marriage

In the August 20, 2007 issue of the New Yorker, Adam Gopnik in "Blows Against the Empire" surveys the life, times, critical reception, and fiction of Philip K. Dick. I could not have imagined a better match between writer and subject: Dick couldn't write but was a font of interesting ideas, while Gopnik writes like an angel but has nothing interesting to say. In an ideal world Gopnik would have been Dick's editor.
