One Life or the Lives of Chester Knowles (Paperback or Softback)

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.

Stpehen Baum, author of the critically accalimed Up in the Bronx is a Los Angeles writer, bicycle rider, and self-confessed beach bum who busies himself with novels and stories. He also writes and plays music on an assortment of instruments, and apparently will do everything and anything in order to make a dollar without actually working. He writes to entertain and hopes this book will bring a smile somewhere. His philosophy is "Do no harm, And if you do, don't bother me with it."
