What if the dead did not disappear-but awakened in someone else's body? Petr, a Czech intellectual at the end of his life, opens his eyes in a Los Angeles hospital and discovers that he is inhabiting Ralph Harrington, a young red-haired heir believed lost after an accident. Ralph's body remembers California; Petr remembers Prague, a long marriage, and a life that should be over. As the two consciousnesses begin to surface, disappear, and leave traces for one another, Susana-the woman closest to Ralph-must confront a love that no longer belongs to a single man. From Los Angeles to Prague, philosophy, memory, desire, numerology, and danger converge in a story about identity, mortality, and the mysterious place where language gives shelter to being. Of Ghosts and Traveling Spirits is a metaphysical novel with elements of psychological suspense, asking whether a life belongs to the body that carries it, the memories that narrate it, or the love that recognizes it.
