The Knight by Gene Wolfe

A middle‑aged American named Able is mysteriously transported to a mythic, quasi‑medieval world where he is transformed into a young knight and embarks on perilous quests — battling monsters, serving kings and gods, and pursuing love and honor — while wrestling with questions of identity, memory, and the nature of reality in a richly layered, allegorical narrative.
