Back in September, when the Library of America announced it would be publishing a second volume of Philip K. Dick novels, I tried to predict the contents. Now the omnibus, which comes out in the summer of 2008, is listed on Amazon.com, and it turns out I was barely half right. I managed to get the no-brainer inclusion of A Scanner Darkly and Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, but then my instincts failed me: I was sure editor Jonathan Lethem would stick to late-period Dick, but instead he looped back and took three novels from the early 1960s: Martian Time-Slip, Dr. Bloodmoney, or How We Got Along After the Bomb, and Now Wait for Last Year.
Which means, I think, that maybe we can expect at least a third collection of Dick’s novels in a year or so, maybe a fourth after that… and that’s not even considering the possibility of a giant short story collection.
