Publisher : The characters that inhabit Daniel Mueller’s stories are all outcasts of different sorts — a struggling poet trying to make ends meet as a stripper; an Aleut girl increasingly dissatisfied with life in an Alaskan salmon factory; an overweight man armed with a remote control, secretly changing channels on neighbors’ television sets — yet their stories chronicle a similar effort: the quest to shed their outsider status and seek solace, if not meaning, within the mainstream.
A haunting and evocative exploration of dreams and disillusionment, How Animals Mate delves into the dangerous territories where psyches, pushed to their limits by desire, reveal themselves. 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.
