Description	Nicholas and the Higs is one of several early, unpublished novels by noted science fiction author Philip K. Dick. It was written somewhere around 1957 during the waning days of his second marriage, was re-written at the behest of his publisher in 1958, and was then ultimately rejected for publication. The original manuscripts have been lost, and no copies are known to be extant at this time.Among Dick's numerous lost novels, this one is unique because it represents his earliest full-length literary attempt to blend mainstream literary fiction with science fiction. Up until this time, Dick had written numerous "straight" (non-SF) novels, all rejected for publication, and had published several science fiction novels and numerous short stories, however he regarded his science fiction as "merely something to pay the bills," and kept his genre career separate from his "grown-up" literary aspiration. In this novel, he allegedly attempted to blend the two for the first time.
