{"product_id":"9781911547563","title":"The Dominant Animal","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 'The Dominant Animal' - Kathryn Scanlan's adventurous, unsettling debut collection - compression is key. Sentences have been relentlessly trimmed, tuned and teased for maximum impact, and a ferocious attention to rhythm and sound results in a palpable pulse of excitability and distress. The nature of love is questioned at a golf course, a flower shop, an all-you-can-eat buffet. The clay head of a man is bought and displayed as a trophy. Interior life manifests on the physical plane, where characters - human and animal - eat and breathe, provoke and injure one another. With exquisite control, Scanlan moves from expansive moods and fine afternoons to unease and violence - and also from deliberate and generative ambiguity to shocking, revelatory exactitude.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daunt Books","offers":[{"title":"Kathryn \/ Scanlan","offer_id":55645223321973,"sku":"9781911547563","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9781911547563.jpg?v=1752923586","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.live\/products\/9781911547563","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
