Summary
>On October 11 the television star
Jason Taverner is so famous that 30 million viewers eagerly
watch his prime-time show. On October 12 Jason Taverner is not
a has-been but a never-was -- a man who has lost not only his
audience but all proof of his existence. And in the
claustrophobic betrayal state of Flow My Tears, the Policeman
Said, loss of proof is synonyms with loss of life.Taverner
races to solve the riddle of his disappearance", immerses us in
a horribly plausible Philip K. Dick United States in which
everyone -- from a waiflike forger of identity cards to a
surgically altered pleasure -- informs on everyone else, a
world in which omniscient police have something to hide. His
bleakly beautiful novel bores into the deepest bedrock self and
plants a stick of dynamite at its center.
