Denoël has published a French translation of Philip K. Dick's Divine Trilogy, comprising three novels: SIVA, The Divine Invasion, and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer. The trilogy, written after a mystical experience, explores themes of divine communication and doubles. The Transmigration of Timothy Archer begins with the death of John Lennon and is noted for its realistic style. SIVA features a dialogue between science-fiction writer Philip Dick and Horselover Fat, while The Divine Invasion is a futuristic rewriting of the Gospel. The translation was done by Robert Louit and Alain Dorémieux, with harmonization by Gilles Goullet. Dick's Exegesis, a companion theological work, remains unpublished in French.
