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!
