{"product_id":"p-e-r-i-p-e-t-y","title":"P E R I P E T Y","description":"Peripety by Van Eden is a bold, genre-bending memoir-manifesto that defies every storytelling rule. Blending letters, scripts, essays, satire, and surreal visions, this experimental work reimagines memoir as a literary playground.\nTold through a whimsical correspondence with the Greek Muse Calliope, the narrative leaps from a Vietnam veteran’s memories to a futuristic pilot script where Orphan Annie and Barbie battle climate change. It’s part autobiography, part cultural critique, and entirely original.\nWith poetic flair, environmental urgency, and flashes of absurd humor, Van Eden explores resilience, disillusionment, and the constant reinvention of self. If fiction is a mansion, this is the secret room behind the bookshelf.\nPerfect for readers who crave literary risk, raw honesty, and stories that don’t color inside the lines.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0F9V26DJX\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0F9V26DJX.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Eden, Van\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42682616414269,"sku":"BVV.B0F9V26DJX.VG","price":12.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/B0F9V26DJX-0.jpg?v=1762117790","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/p-e-r-i-p-e-t-y","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
