Summary

Gather Yourselves Together is one of Philip K. Dick’s earliest novels, written when he was just 24 years old. It tells the story of three American workers left behind in China by their employer, biding their time as the Communists advance. As they while away the days, both the young and naïve Carl Fitter and the older and worldly Verne Tildon vie for the affections of Barbara Mahler, a woman who may not be as tough-as-nails as she acts. But Carl’s innocence and Verne’s boorishness could end up driving Barbara away from both.

Excellent early novel

Just finished Gather Yourselves Together, Phillip K Dick's highly enjoyable and well crafted debut (possibly it was his second) novel, which remained unpublished until 1994. It is certainly an accomplished enough work for a raw, troubled 23 year old (it is believed to have been started in 1949). It is a historical fiction rather than a sci-fi, with the three central characters trapped against their will in a gilded cage, a microcosm of the kind of paradise that both the USA and China promised. Well worth seeking out.
