About This Book

A prisoner and former professor describes how prolonged solitary confinement unlocked uncanny recollections and trance-like voyages through earlier lives and distant places, a phenomenon he calls star-roving. He confesses the crime and the life sentence that brought him to the cell, then unfolds a series of remembered existences and childhood impressions that blur memory, identity, and time. The narrative blends personal memoir, metaphysical episodes of incarnation, and reflective meditation on consciousness, suffering, and the prison experience, while tracing friendships and influences that enabled his inward freedom.
