SOLVED. Probably Sci-fi book I read 15-20 years ago. Man falls/jumps out highrise window and survives. I remember very vaguely something about him being Christ reborn but I don't remember if he thought that or others thought that. [s]

I really remember very little about this book except that I liked it. A man fell out of the window of a building (or jumped?). the fall should have killed him but didn't.

I remember very vaguely something about him being Christ reborn but I don't remember if he thought that or others thought that.

That's literally all I remember. :(

The Second Son by Charles Sailor? The man is a construction worker from the Bronx.

Connie, can you tell us more about the man - e.g., his age, job/skills/employer, marital status, personality before the fall?

What's the location (country/region/city)?

[Connie]

Can't be that one. Remember I read it 15-20 years ago. The Second Son was copyrighted in 2011.

I wish I could remember more but honestly that's all I can remember! :(

The Second Son was published in 1979

Hmmm, ok. Maybe I misread that then. That may be it. I'll have to read it to find out!

Thanks!!
