In this supplement to Jonathan Lethem's novel A GAMBLER'S ANATOMY, the renowned novelist engages in a concerted transatlantic dialogue with cult theorist Laurence A. Rickels, exploring the vicissitudes of popular culture and the profound influence of Philip K. Dick on their respective lines of flight.
