“I did not know that a work of mine could be escalated… into such stunning dimensions.”
Philip K. Dick wrote this letter after seeing his first glimpse of Blade Runner in a television segment. To the best of the family’s knowledge, this letter has never been previously released to the public.

“What am I doing today? typing up Dharma Bums, all day, every day, while people ball in bars (it’s Saturday night) I toil and toil on my typewriter and get bored and so revert to letters like these…what a scribbler I am now. […] because everything, Allen, you ever ever wished for, will come true in TIME, don’t you know what that means?”
- Jack Kerouac in a letter to Allen Ginsberg (January 21st, 1958)
“As to you Kerouac, it is clear that your heavenly duty, your Buddha ballon, is to write, and that your unhappiness is undeserved in a way that only acceptance can make clear. What I mean to say is there stands the structure of your works and sublimity towering in my imagination untarnished. My tea leaves still read $$$ and FAME for you wether or not in the next ten years probably in this lifetime.
Your isolation like mine is sad and frightful mainly the blind alleys of money and love but life is not over, and much to be written and much to be respected in all of us not just for being humanity but for having tried and actually achieved a thing, namely literature and also possibly a certain spiritual eye at this point.”
