In Changing Heads, Thomas Mann targets the most fragile part of identity, based on an ancient Indian story: Does what we call “I” live in the mind or the body? Through an accident, heads shift, and love, loyalty and passion are disoriented in this unexpected change. When the same face has to live with another mind and the same mind with another body, even love begins to question its own truth.

Mann’s irony is felt in every twist and turn of the narrative: As the protagonists search for what is “right”, the reader is left with a question. Whose choice is it? The heart, the mind or social conventions?

In a short but intense narrative, Changing Heads reconstructs the anatomy of love, the limits of the self and the dark threshold where desire clashes with logic in a fairytale framework. It is both entertaining and shocking: A modern classic that makes you smile one moment and shakes your most fundamental beliefs about yourself the next.
