The author's first name "Phillip" comes from the Greek "Philippos" meaning literally "horse-loving"; while Dick in German means "fat". Horselover Fat is the main character of the novel Valis by Philip K. Dick, the author's alter ego. In the novel Valis, which is his quasi-biography, Dick appears twice: as Phil, a well-known science fiction author, and as Horselover Fat, suffering from depression and possessed of suicidal mania.
