About this listen
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 named Marilyn Monroe, whom he’s never heard of. 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.

The Truman Show meets Total Recall
Fantastic story! Well performed, albeit it the first few chapters seemed to drag on a little bit, but in the end I found it made for great scene setting and plot building.
Well worth the purchase! :)

True to the central themes of Philip K Dick
What made the experience of listening to Time Out of Joint the most enjoyable?
True to the central themes of Philip K Dick, but set in the perfectly mundane world of 1959. Somehow, it once again manages to be prescient. I think this could be my new favourite book by Philip K Dick.

Typical Philip K Dick Fare
This comes off to me as primitive Philip K Dick. Which is to say, latter Philip K Dick works take the deconstruction of reality as a given, whereas for this story, it's the whole point. So although you could see it a mile away; to follow the plot along to it's climax is still as fun as rereading a Philip K Dick book. Something I've done many times.
