About This Book

A physician who supervises a mental institution recounts encounters with a patient who claims to have achieved physical existence on a distant planet by mastering astral projection and by appropriating another's viable body. The patient details an alien realm ringed by an inland sea, a profound attachment to a native woman presented as his twin soul, and a life divided between two corporeal states. The narrator moves from skepticism to uneasy acceptance as he records the patient's scientific and occult explanations, and the narrative probes identity, mortality, and the tensions between spirit-led purpose and bodily constraint.
