“The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.” (Albert Camus)

In English “pergamynkuverter” is called “glassines”. As William S. Burroughs said: “Language is a virus”. (Walther F. Lake)

My primary email, k-l-a-u-s-a-t-k-i-p-p-l-e-dot-d-k has been used for spamming purposes yesterday and the day before that. If you have received strange mails from me during that period, you know why. Sorry. It has been retaken and reactivated now, but I’ll probably set up a new adress during the weekend.

Let us devote to unselfishness the frenzy we once gave gold and underpants. (Kurt Vonnegut)

I am a humanist, which means, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without any expectation of reward or punishment after I’m dead. (Kurt Vonnegut)

Dick’s former wife Tessa remarked that “Ubik is a metaphor for God. Ubik is all-powerful and all-knowing, and Ubik is everywhere. The spray can is only a form that Ubik takes to make it easy for people to understand it and use it. It is not the substance inside the can that helps them, but rather their faith in the promise that it will help them.”[2] She also interpreted the ending by writing, “Many readers have puzzled over the ending of Ubik, when Glen Runciter finds a Joe Chip coin in his pocket. What does it mean? Is Runciter dead? Are Joe Chip and the others alive? Actually, this is meant to tell you that we can’t be sure of anything in the world that we call ‘reality.’ It is possible that they are all dead and in cold pac or that the half-life world can affect the full-life world. It is also possible that they are all alive and dreaming.”[2] It is altogether possible to take Glen Runciter’s convictions that he himself is alive and that the others are in half-life at face value, given Joe Chip’s ruminations on the organic values of his own world’s pseudo-reality at the end of the penultimate chapter. The reinforcement of this limbo state’s ‘reality’ by repeated use of Ubik, as well as its prolongment via widespread half-life, could allow it to cross over into true reality by being set up as its parallel: just as Glen Runciter was able to impose his presence on half-life by repeated contact with Joe. Part of the confusion of interpretation is down to the mystery concerning the means of survival and escape of Glen Runciter following the explosion on the moon. | WIKIPEDIA |

He was a man who totally knew the meaning of beer. Beer was an open book to him. He knew every page of beer by heart. (Richard Brautigan)
