A doppelganger nightmare ensues: the imposter \"Anne\" is a succubus, and the original Anne has to break free from a metaphorical castle of torture and psychological domination. There are travels through Vedic cosmology and ancient Japan before resolution on a treeless tundra, where fragile life forms struggle to survive. Waldman's oracular poem is a witty meditation on identity theft and a searing plea for the primacy of imagination and for collective sanity in our provocative yet precarious time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143123088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Literary Award - Finalist","brand":"Anne Waldman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44988133769397,"sku":"9780143123088","price":23.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_311d09cf-f1cd-4dab-a970-250daf164e01.jpg?v=1735626325","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/gossamurmur-9780143123088","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
