The Atheist and the Parrotfish/ Richard Barager. Dr. Cullen Brodie’s bitter disbelief in the afterlife is tested when his patient, Ennis Willoughby, begins to exhibit tastes and characteristics uncannily similar to those of his female organ donor—whose first name Ennis inexplicably knows. As Cullen struggles with his own issues of reconciliation and forgiveness, Ennis’s eerie knowledge of his donor forces Cullen to consider the unimaginable: is it possible he is witness to a verifiable incident of transmigration, tangible proof of a human soul?
