“He was physically abusive with his third wife, Anne Williams Rubinstein; after one argument in 1963, he attempted to push her off a cliff in a car, then later claimed she was trying to kill him, and persuaded a psychiatrist to commit her involuntarily. After filing for divorce in 1964, he moved to Oakland to live with a fan, author and editor Grania Davis. Shortly after, he attempted suicide by driving off the road while she was a passenger.”

I reread VALIS, it's not nearly as good as I remembered. I've seem to outgrown most of his work. Most books in fact. It's a shitty life.

Go read that book again. It's not that good. His works don't apply to modern life in any way anymore.

It's a schizo hippy vomiting out word salad about his own personal drug Jesus and he even admits in the book that he's just insane and this shit is all retarded. Also it's literally a remake of another one of his books that is even cornier. I've read everything he's written except his even more schizo exegesis. Have fun being fucking children.
