Review of 'The Transmigration of Timothy Archer' on Goodreads
4 stars
Death and reality embedded in 70s California, I loved this.
The Transmigration of Timothy Archer is a 1982 novel by American writer Philip K. Dick. As his final work, the book was published shortly after his death in March 1982, although it was written the previous year. The novel draws on autobiographical details of Dick's friendship with the controversial Episcopal bishop James Pike, on whom the title character is loosely based. It continues Dick's investigation into the religious and philosophical themes of VALIS. The novel was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1982.

I don't regret reading this as a "trilogy" finale, though it certainly didn't fit in the way I anticipated. For me the story returns to my world to question sanity instead of insanity, and it does so extremely intimately and movingly.
