A writer reminiscent of Flannery O'Connor and Truman Capote, Daniel Mueller has crafted stories that are compact, powerful, and uniquely American in style and sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The Overlook Press","offers":[{"title":"How Animals Mate: Stories | Daniel Mueller | Paperback | 1585670553 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1633147","offer_id":50703425831170,"sku":"1633147","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/511BMQ64JXL.jpg?v=1791630698","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/how-animals-mate-stories","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
