The Man with the Identical Teeth
10 hrs. 8 min.
Description
First time in Russian!
An exceptional Dick novel that doesn’t fit the science fiction genre.
In a small California town where real-estate agent Leo Ransible has recently moved in, there’s nothing interesting—just neighbor gossip, family squabbles, racism, and plumbing that’s on its last legs. The truth is, sometimes a schoolteacher, doing amateur excavations, finds obsidian arrowheads from Native Americans.
Time goes by, an everyday conflict smoothly turns into a long, simmering hatred, and when—on one of the development plots—ancient remains of a Native settlement are discovered, a neighbor decides to pull a cruel prank on the hated outsider. But the joke reveals a problem that threatens all the residents of the county. The locals turn a blind eye, and only the outsider Leo is ready to fight.
The novel depicts the kind of city where Philip K. Dick himself lived during his creative peak, and the prototypes of the characters were his friends and neighbors.
