Perkins, an amateur fakeer with a knack for transferring souls, works his wonders on fashionable New Yorkers in three linked tales from The Smart Set: when Reginald was Caroline, how Chopin came to Remsen, and Clarissa’s troublesome baby. The result is a travesty of the reincarnation craze of the 1900s.
