About this listen
The final book in Philip K. Dick’s VALIS trilogy, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer brings the author’s search for the identity and nature of God to a close. The novel follows Bishop Timothy Archer as he travels to Israel, ostensibly to examine ancient scrolls bearing the words of Christ. But more importantly, this leads him to examine the decisions he made during his life and how they may have contributed to the suicides of his mistress and son.
This introspective book is one of Dick’s most philosophical and literary, delving into the mysteries of religion and of faith itself. As one of Dick’s final works, it also provides unique insight into the mind of a genius, whose work was still in the process of maturing at the time of his death.

one of the best books ever written
perhaps pkd's most grounded book addressing what life is when you have experiences outside of the ordinary and question reality... in truth it's isolating, obsessive and cruel, your relationships to people are what pull you through and what happens when those relationships are with charismatic people who become embroiled in the same type of questioning their reality... funny, dark, dated in parts, being within the context of how the 1980s spoke about things such as mental illness etc... truly captivating however, and you can research psychosis as much as you like to write about it, but, if you've been there, it does take someone like pkd to present the way it really is.

Amazing, poignant, raw
Dicks final book is mature, sad, touching and real. A genius til the end. Not as pulp as his older books or as out there as VALIS. Such a shame we lost him just as he was entering this era of his writing. A great book and well narrated
