By November 1977, Dick was living in Orange County and deep into the writing of his Exegesis, processing the 2-3-74 mystical experiences that had occurred three years earlier. Though Dick had long since left Berkeley, the city remained important to his identity and literary imagination. The Berkeley Gazette continued to serve as the local paper for a city that had become synonymous with counterculture and intellectual ferment. The specific content of this page remains to be determined through examination of the scanned image.
