The Transmigration of Timothy Archer

This book is considered the third book in the VALIS trilogy. In actuality, the third book was supposed to be The Owl in Daylight, but Dick died before he had outlined the story. According to online sources, though, he did once consider Transmigration to be part of the trilogy. While it doesn't deal directly with his psychic/psychotic event, it does deal with God, theology, and Gnosticism, topics which appeared in the previous two novels. This book is the most mainstream novel Dick ever wrote. It has no science fiction element, but does have some speculative aspects. It's literary and intellectual, but mostly accessible to the average reader. It's also the first time Dick has a woman as the main character of a novel. I really enjoyed it, even though the content is fairly tragic.
