From inside flap:
By the time Rick Hamilton's chair hit the
floor, he had already seen the horror about to visit his wife Anne.
He rushed out of the most important meeting of his life and,
arriving on the expressway, the scene was exactly as he had just
witnessed it, only minutes before, in his mind's eye. There was
Anne lying in the road pinned underneath her car, fighting for her
life. Rick was helpless, but at the darkest moment of his grief,
something even more catastrophic happened. At a stroke, his life
was literally turned in on itself....
In this gripping psychodrama by an
award-winning screenwriter, a man is propelled by the weight of
tragedy from his own world into a parallel universe beyond his own
existence. Rick Hamilton, a Connecticut magazine publisher,
suddenly finds himself imprisoned inside his alter ego. Here the
struggle against his own self begins as he tries desperately to
return home. Rick not only grapples with his own identity, but is
soon pitted against the people from his previous life, including
Anne, who appear before him in strange and sometimes painful
guises.
THE MAN WHO TURNED INTO HIMSELF is a highly
mesmerizing, daring, and seductive novel; a cosmic ride through
parallel worlds beyond our own comprehension. At its heart is a
psychological and philosophical conundrum that probes the very
meaning of the word "I," to an extent verging on the disintegration
of what we know to be the human personality.
