Orpheus with Clay Feet

Philip K. Dick

First published May 1987
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Self-referential time-travel story intended to be published under the pseudonym Jack Dowland.

Sold to Escapade in 1963. According to the notes in Collected Stories (1987), "published in Escapade circa 1964 under the pseudonym Jack Dowland," but the story does not appear in any regular issue of Escapade from February 1963 to July 1968. It might still turn up in a related publication but it appears likely the 1987 publication was the first.
