{"product_id":"an-instinct-for-movement-michael-mattes-9781960329417","title":"An Instinct for Movement: Linked Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eA boy sets off to trace the aquatic life in a local stream and is overtaken by the journey itself ... A single day of violence and comic absurdity separates an aimless young man from the confining reality he's known to the unimagined one he'll have to navigate. These are the opening entries in \u003cem\u003eAn Instinct for Movement\u003c\/em\u003e, a collection marked by fraught relationships, shifting trapdoors, and the often unreliable instincts of its linking central character. From a blighted Mid-Atlantic city to pre-millennium San Francisco to the hills of California pot country to a woodland outpost in the Pacific Northwest: with each new dislocation, Michael Mattes strives for clarion, momentary truths born of human comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Mattes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1960329413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781960329417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornerstone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.57d","brand":"Michael Mattes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46025108259071,"sku":"9781960329417","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c639e5f-2039-41fe-8f0a-cdfcb1a7db71.jpg?v=1723130006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-instinct-for-movement-michael-mattes-9781960329417","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
