Was this after he stopped doing drugs? I’ve always been curious to read some of his more coherent work, though I love some of the more rambling stuff I’ve read

Yes, he wrote it near the end of his life. It's one of his few non sci-fi books. It actually hits on a lot of the same themes as VALIS (PKD's most bizarre, personal, and "rambling" book), but in a somewhat more "grounded" way? I highly recommend it.
