One Life or The Lives of Chester Knowles

About the Book

"What they’re saying about One Life or The Lives of Chester Knowles:

""...Surely it is a dubious literary device- a bit of an underhanded, indeed a chear trick - to use a reincarnation as the premise for a novel. But proving once again that he is above nothing, Mr. Baum seizes upon the idea of reincarnation and squeezes it for all it's worth in this strangely fascinating story about a Los Angeles architect. Chester Knowles, who dies and then somehow discovers himself in another man's body...""

""...the dramatic twists and turns of Chester's new, second life take the reader on a psycho-philosophical, new-age crazy kind of roller coaster ride/odyssey that will actually have the poor reader howling and screaming for more...""

""...Baum has created a gem, a tour-de-force of storytelling and literary craftmanship. We recommend this book highly. "
