Someone who works that store was just giggling madly to themselves as they put this guy together. I wonder if the sonic screwdriver is hidden somewhere on there….

D. Harlan Wilson reviews award-winning alternate history novella Osama by Lavie Tidhar:

I want to make the bold suggestion that Osama is the narrative symphony Philip K. Dick wished he could have composed. Not only is it beautifully written, it is expertly crafted and, for me, functions as a commentary on Dick’s inimitable narrative of failure as well as a broader ontology of failure that recurrently plagues the human experience. Osama falls into the arena of SF and fantasy. But the genre elements are soft. The novel might just as easily be the mainstream effort of a “serious literary writer” — what Dick yearned for, and what Tidhar is. Whether he wanted to or not, Tidhar has effectively out-PKDed PKD.
