'This was an environment built, not for man, but for man's absence.'

Note: 'Philip K. Dick tried to kill himself on March 23rd, 1972, by ingesting 700 mg of potassium bromide, a sedative. Then he changed his mind and phoned the BC Crisis Centre for help. He wound up in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre called X-Kalay where a combination of intense therapy and supervised activity pulled him out of his depression. In late April he flew back to California.

I think it would be fair to say that Philip K. Dick underwent in Vancouver nothing less than a cathartic experience which exorcised many of his personal demons. So much so that afterwards—in letters to Mike Bailey—he often referred to Vancouver with something approaching fondness.' (source: amazingstoriesmag.com/…/mad-flight-manic-phoenix-ph…/ )
