{"product_id":"dinosaur-cafzs-ron-vossler-9781504915359","title":"Dinosaur Café: A Semblance of Monstrous Prairie Creatures","description":"These five stories will leave the reader stunned by unforgettable characters, who are, by turns, superstitious, stubborn, comic, and, even, grotesque. The setting of these stories: a Macondo-like small town, where miracles, and would-be miracles, can and do happen in a backwater of history, which is actually the battle zone of the human heart, in conflict with itself. From the title piece, in which a shadowy artist, on the ceiling of a small town cafe, creates murals of a startling and paradoxical richness; to the plaintive monologue of an elderly farm-woman, standing in the way of the plow that threatens the graves of babies she has sworn to protect; to the marvelous powers of an overworked faith-healer: these stories---shaped from the lore, superstitions, and history of the Dakota Germans---reveal the intense inner world of an unknown ethnic group, working out its destiny on the immensities of the American prairie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ron Vossler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1504915356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781504915359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Ron Vossler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459114545407,"sku":"9781504915359","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ed3d406-1248-4135-b7e8-9544bdffd594.jpg?v=1777408058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dinosaur-cafzs-ron-vossler-9781504915359","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
