Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Now Wait for Last Year

Dr. Eric Sweetscent has problems. His planet is enmeshed in an unwinnable war. His wife is lethally addicted to a drug that whips its users helplessly back and forth across time -- and is hell-bent on making Eric suffer along with her. And Sweetscent's newest patient is not only the most important man on the embattled planet Earth but quite possibly the sickest. For Secretary Gino Molinari has turned his mortal illness into an instrument of political policy -- and Eric cannot tell if his job is to make the man better or to keep him poised just this side of death.

Now Wait for Last Year bursts through the envelope between the impossible and the inevitable. Even as it ushers us into a future that looks uncannily like the present, it makes the normal seem terrifyingly provisional -- and compels anyone who reads it to wonder if he really knows what time it is.

Commentary Containing Books Now Wait for Last Year

(Audiobook) I don't remember reading this. Poor PKD had kind of a problem with women. I can't recall a single sympathetic female character in this. Other than that, great "what is real" and "how do I live" stuff!

I read Philip K. Dicks 1966 science fiction novel Now Wait for Last Year in trade paperback. Ill just assume you already know who Philip K. Dick was. Strangely enough he is probably more revered among younger readers today, than he was while alive, perhaps because of all the mind-bending films that have been made based on ideas from his works. This is one of his lesser known novels (no film) and I had not read it before. It starts as a commonplace story of a future corporate medical doctor, Eric

Oh-kay, so - to begin...Now Wait for Last Year inspired a bit of an internal crisis for me - because I began to wonder whether I was a bad feminist. I've been reading a lot of Russian literature and Philip K. Dick and a lot of other misogynist, sexist stuffs. And I began to wonder, hey, is this stuff bothering me because I hate to see these conniving, ill-intentioned, terrible women in these novels... is that because I'm discomfited by women unless they're of a more positive cut? Supportive,

perhaps just a touch too cluttered with characters and busy with plot points to be completely satisfying in the way his best novels are, but it certainly contains the spacey, weird characteristics that make pkd so compulsively readable. also, i found the first 20 pages or so to be rather dreary & unpleasantly dense. usually i find i'm able to dive into dick's characters & settings with no fuss, but this one felt like a real chore, & slightly inelegant in the way things were set up.

Classic PKD. It's got layers of political deception, parallel realities, drugs that raise metaphysical questions, and a narrator stuck in a bad marriage. Yep, that's PKD, for better or worse.I enjoyed the narrative pretty consistently the whole way through, and it came to a meaningful crescendo at the end. It left me with a feeling a bit like I had at the end of Galactic Pot Healer: inspired to go on doing my best every day, because what else is there to do?

"Life is composed of reality configurations so constituted. To abandon her would be to say, I can't endure reality as such. I have to have uniquely special easier conditions."- Philip K. Dick (in Now Wait for Last Year) This is a book for married couples (having difficulties), suicides, drug addicts, politicians, and time travelers -- and it just happens to be one of my favorite PKD novels ever (although ever with Philip Kindred Dick is always a fluid thing).'Now Wait for Last Year' is something

I am a huge fan of PKD, but I have always found his short stories to be more accessible than his longer works. My favorite novel by him is UBIK, but Now Wait for Last Year is an excellent exploration of the dissolution of a marriage linked to the dissolution of time (and possibly the planet?!). This one is definitely for time-travel fans, and people who like their domestic dramas to have a heavy does of sci-fi and philosophy.
