About
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.
