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.

Also listen to the first book, VALIS, and the second, The Divine Invasion.©1982 Phillip K. Dick (P)2011 Brilliance Audio, Inc.

Substance and style

Loved this book - a great ending to the trilogy and a well paced, well developed, thoughtful and energetic book - still full of Christian theology and weird abstractions but set amidst a tasteful and - dare I say it ? - refined cast of characters - loved the female lead and enjoyed the rich simplicity of the setting - well done PKD !
