Now I don't have to figure out how to initiate a publication of it myself, something I was contemplating a strategy for as recently as yesterday while looking through the VINTAGE PKD publications short section of 2 letters to VALIS editor Mark Hurst. Of note, that the protagonist--a fellow named Huston Paige pre-dating Horselover Fat--in the original draft transforms at book's end into a ventriloquist's dummy!!!! (awesomely terrifying TWILIGHT ZONE twist-esque and dropped from the final publication totally), and the following tantalizing quote: "The cooperation of discrete objects: a possible clue to high-order mimicry?" Reminiscent of Jung's SYNCHRONICITY.
However, I can always still edit an annotated VALIS. Maybe on the web, elaborating upon this online version of the entire book.
