I remember enjoying reading Dick's autobiography - controversial entitlrd -"Nigger".
Years later, I came across it on a London street market bookstall and wanted to buy it.
Unfortunately, it was out of reach, and the stall was owned by a big black bloke.
I pointed at the book and said that I wanted it."Which book?" he asked .( I wasn't going to name the titlle!), and do I began describing its location but couldn't seem to direct the owner to it.
I often wondered, if the stall holder might have been teasing me. I somehow managed to get the book without saying" the word".
Anyway, it's a very good read.
