Scenery from "Confessions of Crap Artist"
This page features pictures of the places mentioned in the main-stream novel "Confessions of a Crap Artist". The novel is set in Marin County, California, north of San Francisco around the town of Point Reyes Station. Most of the places mentioned in the novel exist except for "Drake's Landing" the place where Fay lives. It seems that Philip K. DIck has made this one up. Some of the names are slightly changed as for example Cheda's garage (Cheeda) and the Old Western Saloon (Western Bar). Since Point Reyes Station and it surroundings are protected against urban development most of it looks probably the same as it was in the early 60's when Philip K. Dick lived there. Page numbers refer to the Vintage 1992 edition.
