A novel of alternate realities from the Pulitzer Prizeβnominated author: βThose willing to spend a few hours in his Twilight Zone will come away the richerβ (Library Journal).
Β
With a loving wife and son, a successful job as chief copy-editor, and a schedule all his own, Walter Hunsicker is happy with his existence.
Β
But into each life some rain must fall.
Β
Taking shelter from a heavy storm with a stranger, Walter confesses there are small things he wouldnβt mind changing about himself. Heβd like more money, a little less monotony, and maybe a new name. Something like Jack Kellog.
Β
The stranger, possessing a power unfathomable to Walter, eagerly makes his wish a reality. Walter doesnβt walk back into the rain, but into another life. As rich, womanizing, slumlord Jack Kellog, he shocks himself so much that he tracks the stranger down and asks for his life back before the dayβs through. But once the stranger agrees to end his experiment, Hunsicker returns home to devastating news. His son has AIDS, and is beyond treatment.
Β
Desperate to spare his family and himself this cruel fate, Walter leaps into new lives. Comedian, writer, radio psychologist: Are any of the new Jack Kellogs enough to escape Walter Hunsickerβs grief?

Thomas Berger (1924β2014) was the bestselling author of novels, short stories, and plays, including the Old West classic Little Big Man (1964) and the Pulitzer Prizeβnominated novel The Feud (1983). Berger was born in Cincinnati and served with a medical unit in World War II, an experience that provided the inspiration for his first novel, Crazy in Berlin (1958). Berger found widespread success with his third novel, Little Big Man, and has maintained a steady output of critically acclaimed work since then. Several of his novels have been adapted into film, including a celebrated version of Little Big Man. His short fiction has appeared in Harper's Magazine, Esquire, and Playboy.
