This is the British paperback edition of this novel. Dick first wrote this book in the 1950's, but it remained unplublished until 1988. "The Broken Bubble is set in San Francisco in 1956 and focuses on four local radio DJ Jim Briskin, his ex-wife Patricia Gray, and a young married couple, Art and Rachael Emmanuel, who are fans of Briskin's. Briskin is suspended from his job when he refuses to read a particularly repellent commercial, and Art becomes mixed up with an absurd group of would-be revolutionaries, but the novel primarily concerns the shifting relationships between Jim and Pat and Art and Rachael as they become entangled, and not quite disentangled, seeking only - in typical Dick fashion - to live more-or-Iess happily, if not ever after, then at least for a while. With its acutely-observed characters and sympathetic black comedy, The Broken Bubble is another highly enjoyable novel."
