Joe Fernwright works as a pot-healer, a repairer of ceramics, in a dull future where there isn't much call for his skills. He's broke and bored when the offer from the Glimmung comes along. It might just be the answer to both his financial and spiritual problems, even if it does mean working on a strange project on Plowman's Planet with other assorted odd creatures. The only thing is that the Glimmung may just be divine and ask for more than Joe's commitment to the job ...

Book Description:
'An elusive and incomparable artist' Ursula K. Le Guin
From the Back Cover:
[headline] A far-out alien farce that could only come from the mind of Philip K. Dick.
Sometimes even gods need help. In "Galactic Pot-Healer "that god is an alien creature known as The Glimmung, which looks alternately like a flaming wheel, a teenage girl, and a swirling mass of ocean life. In order to raise a sunken city, he summons beings from across the galaxy to Plowman s Planet. Joe Fernwright is one of those summoned, needed for his skills at pot-healing repairing broken ceramics. But from the moment Joe arrives on Plowman s Planet, things start to go awry. Is the Glimmung good or evil? Are Joe and his friends helping to save Plowman s Planet or destroy it? Told as only Philip K. Dick can, "Galactic Pot-Healer "is a wildly funny tale of aliens, gods, and ceramics.
PHILIP K. DICK (1928 1982) wrote 121 short stories and 45 novels and is considered one of the most visionary authors of the twentieth century. His work is included in the Library of America and has been translated into more than twenty five languages. Eleven works have been adapted to film, including "Blade Runner" (based on "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"), "Total Recall," "Minority Report," and "A Scanner Darkly.""
