Not sure how this book won the PKD Award, but I can definitely see why it’s out of print. Pretty solidly boring. Revolves around a Vietnam veteran who is a sculptor. He’s been scarred by the war. He’s lost his desire to sculpt. It’s set in a dystopian future where Roe vs. Wade has been overturned and includes what sort of nightmare that could actually be. So a note of prescience. However, the story centers around a Vietnam veteran who was scarred by the war and has lost his desire to sculpt. That’s all that happens. A bunch of pomposity about art and artists and the protagonist losing his desire to sculpt. Very close to one star.
