Perkins, the Fakeer - A Travesty on Reincarnation by Edward S. Van Zile audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Edward S. Van Zile's Perkins, the Fakeer is a trio of comic, uncanny case histories, each allegedly set in motion by Perkins, a Yankee-turned-India adept whose peculiar powers trigger baffling psychic transpositions. In When Reginald Was Caroline, respectable spouses Reginald and Caroline wake to an impossible predicament: their minds have exchanged bodies. As servants knock at the door and the day’s obligations close in, the pair must improvise a way to preserve appearances, navigate marriage from the other side of the looking-glass, and argue over which habits and privileges truly belong to whom. How Chopin Came to Remsen shifts to another household, where practical businessman Tom Remsen begins to display flashes of artistic genius that seem borrowed from a far different life, drawing his anxious wife into doctors, music rooms, and the orbit of an intense admirer, Signorina Molatti. In Clarissa's Troublesome Baby, a contented remarriage is thrown into panic when a baby speaks with the voice and attitudes of Clarissa's late first husband, forcing secrets, negotiations, and awkward domestic diplomacy. Witty, satirical, and fast-moving, these tales lampoon society, spirituality, and the fragile performance of identity.
