Lost works of Philip K. Dick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
American author Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) is best known for his science fiction works, but he also wrote non-genre fiction, much of which remained unpublished until after his death. From 1952 to 1960, Dick wrote eleven non-genre novels,[1] only one of which (Confessions of a Crap Artist) was published during his lifetime. Seven more were published posthumously, but the remaining three – A Time for George Stavros, Pilgrim on the Hill and Nicholas and the Higs – are considered lost. Short plot summaries of these works are preserved among the index cards written by employees of the Scott Meredith Literary Agency, who were responsible for marketing the novels to publishers, while further information can be derived from Dick's letters, and from the testimony of those who knew him.

Other early works by Dick will likely never be known even by their titles, but evidence exists of two more lost works: a novel called Return to Lilliput, and a short story titled "Menace React".
