After encountering a coyote out in the wild, and doing some research, I've come to the conclusion that I strongly identify with the coyote, although I wouldn't call it my spirit animal. We're both lanky big-eared weirdos who mostly keep to themselves and live on the fringes on society.
So I'm curious, is there any good fiction in the form of books, movies/TV shows, or short stories that feature a coyote-like protagonist? I know the main character from Nightcrawler was based on a coyote, so I'm interested in stuff like that.
Coyote Blue by Christopher Moore features the trickster god himself as one of the main characters. An Hilarious and clever novel, like all of this author's books.

Not op, but I was looking for some good books to read and that certainly sounds like something to add to my list. Thanks.

Not quite the same thing here, but the book "Wolfen" is pretty good
My car bumper was strongly impacted by a 75mph coyote. The two met squarely and left an impression on eachother.

I said I identify "with" the coyote, not "as" a coyote

According to the Syilx and other interior salish peoples, coyote was a trickster spirit, known as Senklip. One legend says that sagebrush first grew where Coyote urinated

Although they typically live in a pack of up to 4 individuals, the coyote spends most of his day hunting alone.
