A man with identical teeth
9.99 €
An exceptional novel by Dick that does not fit into the genre of science fiction.
In a small Californian town where real estate agent Leo Runcible has recently settled, there is nothing interesting: only gossip of neighbors, family squabbles, racism and a running water system that is on its last legs. True, sometimes a school teacher, engaged in amateur excavations, finds obsidian arrowheads of Indians.
Time passes, a domestic conflict smoothly flows into a hidden feud, and when ancient remains of an Indian settlement are found on one of the sites intended for development, a neighbor decides to play a cruel joke on the hated stranger. But the joke reveals a problem that threatens all residents of the district. The locals turn a blind eye, and only the stranger Leo is ready to fight.
The novel describes the city in which Philip K. Dick himself lived during the period of his creative heyday, and the prototypes of the characters were his friends and neighbors.
