Invasions divines: Philip K. Dick, une vie

Sutin's portrayal of Dick's inner battles adds a new layer to understanding his work. I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice to humanize him or something that evolved during research.

The book hints at how his visions and paranoia influenced his writing. I wonder how much of his mental state directly shaped his stories, or if that's an oversimplification.

Sutin seems to weave Dick's life with analysis of his work—does this approach deepen appreciation or make it harder to see the man and his art separately?
