A review by henryarmitage
The Broken Bubble by Philip K. Dick
4.0
Non-SF story. Short.
Set in the 50s. Imagine, say Peyton Place with the characters going off on metaphysical tangents.
At first I thought I had never read this, but as I got into it, it began to seem slightly familiar, so I may have read it decades ago.
PKD's taut, deadpan narration highlights the passionate actions of his characters. This is a style you don't see much nowadays that I think was a thing back then ("Just the facts, ma'am").
