Christians imagine the heart survives the body. The philosopher Rene Descartes equated mind and heart and attempted to prove them totally separable from the body. Are they? Cocky young Professor Eric Behrens curses the earth and wants he were someone, anyone, else. He trips, is knocked out, and wakes in the body of any middle-aged, heavy Benedictine monk with a severe heart defect. He must make it through within an alien environment and in a defective body, while seeking to "go home again". Anselm: A Metamorphosis by Florence Byham Weinberg takes on upon a historical longing as well as historical fears. What is it like, it asks, to awaken as someone else, unrecognizable even to those closest to 1, being in all but one way wholly new to oneself? That a person way is an abiding sense of self-identity. In a fascinating tour de push, this novel uses the abrupt change in the identity of any carefree young British professor into a middle-aged priest by discovering many tiers of his consciousness.
