Thumbs up for Clans of the Alphane Moon
Quite more farcical than the other PKDs I have read, and the one I most enjoyed reading, both because it was consistently funny (funny means a lot to me) and because the female characters did not make me cringe. Also, it contained Lord Running Clam. If you have not yet met Lord Running Clam, you should go read Clans and meet him. As you will do when he first appears thusly:
” ‘No Terran is an island,’ ” the slime mold more or less quoted. “Welcome to the building which we who rent apts here have humorously dubbed ‘Discarded Arms Conapts.’ There are others here whom you should meet. Several Terrans – like yourself – plus a number of non-Ts of assorted physiognomy, some of which will repel you, some which no doubt will attract. I had planned to borrow a cup of yogurt culture from you, but in view of your preoccupation [suicide] it seems an insulting request.”
