In THE NOVELS OF PHILIP K. DICK, Kim Stanley Robinson states that "IN MILTON LUMKY TERRITORY. . . is probably the best of Dick's realist novels aside from CONFESSION OF A CRAP ARTIST," and goes on to characterize it as a "bitter indictment of the effects of capitalism." Dick, on the other hand, in his foreword, says "This is actually a very funny book, and a good one, too." The story takes place in Boise, Idaho, with some extraordinary long-distance driving sequences in which our hero (young Bruce Stevens) drives from Boise to San Francisco, to Reno, to Pacatello to Seatle and back to Boise in search of a good deal on some wholesale typewriters. He falls under the spell of an anractive older woman (who used to be his school teacher) and Milton Lumky, a middle-aged paper salesman whose territory is the Northwest. And then Bruce and the others slowly sink into the whirlpool of Bruce's immature personal obsessions and misperceptions. A compassionate and ironic portrayal of three characters enmeshing in a sticky web of everyday events, in a tension between love and monney, with a basic failure to communicate, IN MILTON LUMKY TERRITORY stands out among Dick's early works.
Coming in April 2008 from Tor Books: In Milton Lumky Territory
