One Life or The Lives of Chester Knowles Stephen Baum

One Life or The LIves of Chester Knowles is the second excellent novel from the pen of Stephen Baum. At times poetic, at times playful and tongue-in-cheek, Baum opens the book point-blank with a reincarnation. Chester Knowles, whose funeral we observed in the opening chapter, wakes up inexplicably in a cabin in Sequoia National Park. He is in the body of another man, a rock&roll drummer by the name of Tony Santos. Chester soon picks up the loose threads of Tony's life - as he tries to unravel the mysteries of his own. The book is off and running. It's all "One Life", a literary novel of the first order!
