In 'Pilgrim: A Novel', Timothy Findley introduces us to an enigmatic character known only as Pilgrim, who attempts suicide on April 17, 1912, curiously two days after the sinking of the Titanic. Miraculously rescued, Pilgrim is admitted to the Burghölzli Psychiatric Clinic in Zurich, where the renowned Carl Jung sets out to unravel his story. Pilgrim claims to be immortal and to have lived for four thousand years, interacting with historical figures such as Leonardo da Vinci and Henry James. Jung faces the challenge of discerning whether Pilgrim is a visionary or a madman, while his own life and sanity are affected by his patient's revelations.
Timothy Irving Frederick Findley was a Canadian novelist and playwright. He was also informally known by the nickname Tiff or Tiffy, an acronym of his initials.
