Confessions of a Crap artist--Jack Isidore (of Seville, Calif.)
Description
Jack Isidore, an eccentric collector of dubious theories, discarded objects, and unconventional beliefs, is profoundly ill-equipped for ordinary life. When his sister and brother-in-law take him in, his innocent, literal-minded perspective brings their carefully ordered household—and its buried tensions—into sharp relief. Set against the social pressures and private obsessions of suburban California, the novel explores family, isolation, perception, and the unstable boundary between sanity and so-called respectability. Blending dark humor with psychological insight, it showcases a more grounded yet no less unsettling side of Philip K. Dick’s fiction.
