Fourth Mansions by R. A. Lafferty

In this novel, readers are plunged into a surreal and allegorical narrative that explores the intersection of mysticism, philosophy, and science fiction. The story follows a journalist who becomes entangled in a complex web of conspiracies involving secret societies, otherworldly creatures, and metaphysical battles. As he delves deeper into this enigmatic world, he encounters a series of bizarre characters and experiences that challenge his understanding of reality. The novel draws on the mystical structure of the seven mansions of the soul, derived from the work of Saint Teresa of Ávila, to craft a tale that is both intellectually provocative and richly imaginative, questioning the very nature of human progress and spiritual evolution.
