Description: From the Hugo Award winning author of The Man in the High Castle Philip K. Dick's twisty and paranoid Time Out of Joint is "marvelous terrifying fun especially if you ve ever suspected that the world is an unreal construct built solely to keep you from knowing who you really are. Which it is of course" (Rolling Stone)." The time is out of joint; O curs'd spite That ever I was born to set it right!" (William Shakespeare's Hamlet Act I Scene V) Ragle Gumm has a unique job: every day he wins a newspaper contest. And when he isn t consulting his charts and tables he enjoys his life in a small town in 1959. At least that's what he thinks. But then strange things start happening. He finds a phone book where all the numbers have been disconnected and a magazine article about a famous starlet he's never heard of named Marilyn Monroe. Plus everyday objects are beginning to disappear and are replaced by strips of paper with words written on them like "bowl of flowers" and "soft drink stand." When Ragle skips town to try to find the cause of these bizarre occurrences his discovery could make him question everything he has ever known.
