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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022713569520,"sku":"9780143123088","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780143123088_p0.jpg?v=1763656921","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780143123088","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
