Camp Concentration by Disch gets mentioned a lot in the letters, biographies, etc. As a child I think we was obsessed with the Oz books.
It alternates between Palmer Eldritch and Valis.
From reading his biography, it seems the early work is the stuff that was done with the help of amphetamines. His later, weirder stuff was done when he was off drugs. Strange, I know. And he only did LSD twice, contrary to the image of "drug guru" that some people have of him. I think his later work is the best personally. Once he got off the amphetamines and slowed down from the 3 or 4 books per year rate he had done previously, his work became more polished.
