Freaking Forty-four 

What if life did not take the usual course, restarting repeatedly at specific times in the past? What if Ken Grimwood’s unparalleled novel, Replay, turned out to be reality? What would one do after the initial shock had somewhat subsided? What would one do after doing some of the obvious things one could do?Louis Sasportas finds himself in such a predicament, leaping back into his past according to a precise timetable. Struggling to comprehend what is happening to him, he seeks some solace in the company of individuals who had marked our lives, including Charlie Chaplin, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Primo Levi, Carl Sagan, and Douglas Adams, but ends up forever obsessed by the Shoah, setting out to avenge the six million Jews that were annihilated along with the progeny that could never come to be. Lulu Lavoix, his wife in most lives, other heartfelt partners, his parents, and even Ken Grimwood, accompany him, most of them oftentimes unaware of his quests and in awe of his many skills.
