Description

"As a pseudonym on my review, let's use Chipdip K. Kill"

TLS signed “Phil,” one page, 8.5 x 11, October 26, 1981. Letter to the editorial staff of Venom Magazine, in full: "Thank you for your card regarding my review of The Divine Invasion (boy, am I fucked up today. Personal problems. Girlfriend problems). As a pseudonym on my review, let's use Chipdip K. Kill. Okay? The clever reader can trace this down; it is the joke version of my name that John Sladek used for his pardon of my writing that he titled 'Solar Shoe-Salesman.' Thus the astute reader can trace it back to me, if he or she is so inclined. I'm glad my review is okay. By the way—I sent a carbon of it to my agent, Russell Galen at Scott Meredith, and Russ says it's as good as anything I've ever done. He frankly found it hysterically funny. It's nice to have an agent with a sense of humor. I'll look forward to receiving my 5 copies." Dick makes a correction to the text in his own hand. In fine condition, with creasing in the bottom blank area. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA.
