Galactic Pot-Healer
Philip K. Dick
The Glimmung wants Joe
Fernwright. Fernwright is a pot-healer - a repairer of ceramics - in a
drably utilitarian future where such skills have little value. And the
Glimmung? The Glimmung is a being that looks something like a gyroscope,
something like a teenaged girl, and something like the contents of an
ocean. What's more, it may be divine. And, like certain gods of old
Earth, it has a bad temper.
What could an omnipresent and
seemingly omnipotent entity want with a humble pot-healer? Or with the
dozens of other odd creatures it has lured to Plowman's Planet? And if
the Glimmung is a god, are its ends positive or malign? Combining
quixotic adventure, spine-chilling horror, and deliriously paranoid
theology, Galactic Pot-Healer is a uniquely Dickian voyage to alternate worlds of the imagination.
