Description

Published posthumously in 2014, Puttering about in a Small Land is one of Philip K. Dick's most realistic novels.

The story revolves around the Lindhal family, whose marriage is already strained when they enroll their son in a school in the mountains of Southern California. The arrival of two other families at the school sets off a chain of complex emotions and traumas, against the backdrop of suburban Los Angeles in the early 1950s.

With its focus on everyday life and told from three different perspectives, this novel is a gripping portrayal of relationships and their fragility. Philip K. Dick's insightful writing brings vividly unfamiliar worlds to life, evoking both the hauntingly familiar and the humorous aspects of our society and ourselves.
