Rendition In Favor Of Books Confessions of a Crap Artist

Confessions of a Crap Artist is one of Philip K. Dick's weirdest and most accomplished novels. Jack Isidore is a crap artist -- a collector of crackpot ideas (among other things, he believes that the earth is hollow and that sunlight has weight) and worthless objects, a man so grossly unequipped for real life that his sister and brother-in-law feel compelled to rescue him from it. But seen through Jack's murderously innocent gaze, Charlie and Juddy Hume prove to be just as sealed off from reality, in thrall to obsessions that are slightly more acceptable than Jack's, but a great deal uglier.

(written 4-05)I saw the movie based on this book first - "Barjo" - it was in French I think. It was a strange movie, of course, but I still remember the music because Greg and I sang along. Fay is the crazy controlling sister of Jack, who is also crazy. In the movie I thought she had homoerotic moments with Gwen, but in the book it is just Nat she has an affair with. This story is so unique it is really worth reading. "Can we know our own motives? He thought, Actually a human being is an

wow, a difficult book to assess.you wouldn't think there'd be that much difference between how people thought in the 1950s and now. i mean, it's not like it was the Middle Ages or something.but it might as well have been, in so many respects.since you can read the summary above, i won't bore you with it. instead, i'll tell you what's difficult (and also well-done) about this novel.first off, as a feminist, the misogyny is like a bullhorn in the face. you can't escape it--even the female

I loved this book - I think I may have read it at least 5 times. I have read almost all of Philip K. Dick's novels and this is by far my favorite.



I always thought this was one of the best PKD novels, and it is one of my favorites in general and of all time. Its about Jack, his sister Fay, and her husband Charley. I like this book because the irony is humorous, or was to me at the time at least. Jack is taken to be autistic or special because of his interests and beliefs, which were facilitated through reading science fiction as a kid. One such idea is that he believed sunlight had weight, which was something he read in a Boys Magazine.

My Philip K. Dick ProjectEntry #17 - Confessions of a Crap Artist (written Mid 1959, published 1975) Confessions of a Crap Artist contains Dicks most assured and confident writing yet, at turns both bracing and hilarious. After the disappointing Dr. Futurity, a throwback to Dicks earlier, clunkier style, this book was a joy to read. This is the only straight", non-sci-fi novel of Dicks to be published during his lifetime, and its not hard to see why. Its easily the best of the bunch so far.

This is a book by Philip K. Dick--but it's not science fiction! So, a little disappointing, but the story is of some interest as it's Dick pointing out--yet again--the absurdity of life. Dick ( born in 1928 in Chicago, IL and died in 1982 in Santa Ana, CA) wrote a series of "mainstream" novels in the 50s that were all rejected. "Confessions of a Crap Artist," written in 1959, was finally published in 1975. Jack Isidore is the "crap artist," so named by his brother-in-law because he's a
