Reseña del libro "The Auto/Biographies of Philip K. Dick: Infinite Regressions (en Inglés)"
Auto/biographical literature has been theorized by way of metaphors that punctuate its inherent instability as a form of truth-telling. The best auto/biographies exhibit a meta-awareness of this instability and favour the art of writing over the alleged “truth” of a life. The autobiographical nature of Philip K. Dick's novels and stories have spawned a sizable body of biographical texts, many of which are creative performances that give primacy to the artistic impulse. Most of the critical biographies about PKD, on the other hand, do not account for this dynamic and want to read the fiction as a symptom of the author’s notorious drug use and schizo-affective condition. Bolstered by scholarship on Auto/Biography and SF Studies as well as psychoanalytic theory, this volume surveys and analyses the many biographies written about PKD in three chapters. The first two chapters, “Divine Lives: Critical Biographies” and “Cartesian Play: Creative Biographies,” discuss texts as literary artefacts that engender critical lines of flight and aesthetic flights of fancy. The third and final chapter, “Hermeneutic Monomania: The Exegesis,” discusses PKD’s autobiographical magnum opus, an eight-year journal in which he attempts to come to terms with a mental breakdown and his evolving fear of insanity. PKD and his biographers, however, all revolve around the same axis of infinite regression, falling into obscurity the more they grapple for the impossible (i.e., the real).
