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.

Review of 'The transmigration of Timothy Archer' on 'Goodreads'

3 étoiles

The most human of Philip K. Dick's works, which is quite bizarre considering that a large portion of this work is philosophical speculation. While I do not think this novel works as a whole, I do believe that the theme of grief is particularly well explored, for it does not take the form of mere abstract conjecture, but also manages to gracefully stir up emotions that one seldom gets to experience in the ordinary everyday existence.
