(MENAFN- GetNews)

In his powerful new work Peripety , decorated Vietnam veteran Van Eden transforms the raw material of his life into a daring piece of experimental literature. More than just a memoir, the book is both a personal testimony and a cultural manifesto, weaving together themes of war, art, survival, and the universal struggle to find meaning amidst upheaval.

Van Eden's story stretches across continents and decades. From the dense jungles of Thailand to the avenues of Paris and the heartland of America, he recounts not only the external battles of a soldier but also the internal wars of disillusionment, healing, and creative rebirth. Each chapter becomes a meditation on the unpredictable turns of life-what the ancients called peripety -where fortune and hardship collide in ways that reshape the human spirit.

What makes Peripety stand apart is its daring style. Blending memoir with experimental narrative techniques, Van Eden captures not only the events of a life but the emotions, philosophies, and shifting worldviews that arise from it. His fearless voice challenges readers to look beyond simple nostalgia or war stories and instead engage in a deeper exploration of resilience, cultural change, and the ongoing human condition.

"Peripety is not just about one man's journey," Eden reflects. "It is about how we all endure the reversals of fortune and find meaning in the fragments left behind."

Now available in paperback and eBook formats through Atticus Publishing and major online retailers, Peripety invites readers to step into a narrative that is as inventive as it is unforgettable.
