"The Man Whose Teeth Were All Exactly Alike" was written by Philip K. Dick in the winter and spring of 1960, in Point Reyes Station, California. In the sequence of Dick's work, "The Man Whose Teeth" was written immediately after Confessions of a Crap Artist; the next book Dick wrote was "The Man in the High Castle," the Hugo Award-winning science fiction novel that ushered in the next stage of Dick's career. This novel, Dick said, is about Leo Runcible, "a brilliant, civicminded liberal Jew living in a rural WASP town in Marin County, California." Runcible, a real estate agent involved in a local battle with a neighbor, finds what look like Neanderthal bones and dreams of rising real estate prices because of the publicity.

Köpte den på rea, ovetande att det var en contemporary novel snarare än SF. Dick funkar inte alls lika bra utan framtiden. Könsroller och rasfrågor från 1800-talet (möjligen avsiktligt) och karaktärernas inre liv är helt outgrundliga. Man får gissa sig till tonläge och känslor i nästan all dialog, stilgrepp som funkar i rymden men faller platt i ett suburban drama. Vidriga karaktärer, men ändå är boken svår att släppa.
