From the publisher (source:
The Internet Book List):
Stuart Hadley is a young radio electronics salesman in early 1950s Oakland, California. He has what many would consider the ideal life; a nice house, a pretty wife, and a decent job with prospects for advancement. Yet he still feels unfulfilled; something is missing from his life. Hadley is an angry young manan artist, a dreamer, a screw-up. He tries to fill his void first with drinking and sex, and then with religious fanaticism, but nothing seems to be working, and it is driving him crazy. He reacts to the love of his wife and the kindness of his employer with anxiety and fear.
One of the earliest books that Dick ever wrote, and the only novel of his that has never been published, Voices from the Street is the story of Hadley's descent into depression and madness, and out the other side.
