From the author of the critically acclaimed story collection How This Night Is Different comes a dark, arresting, fearlessly funny story of one young woman's terminal illness. In The Book of Dahlia, Elisa Albert walks a dazzling line between gravitas and irreverence, mining an exhilarating blend of skepticism and curiosity, compassion and candor, high and low culture.

Meet Dahlia Finger: twenty-nine, depressed, whip-smart, occasionally affable, bracingly honest, resolutely single, and perennially unemployed. She spends her days stoned in front of the TV, watching the same movies repeatedly, like a form of prayer. But Dahlia's so-called life is upended by an aggressive, inoperable brain tumor.

Stunned and uncomprehending, Dahlia must work toward reluctant emotional reckoning with the aid of a questionable self-help guide. She obsessively revisits the myriad heartbreaks, disappointments, rages, and regrets that comprise the story of her life -- from her parents' haphazard Israeli courtship to her kibbutz conception; from the role of beloved daughter and little sister to that of abandoned, suicidal adolescent; from an affluent childhood in Los Angeles to an aimless existence in the gentrified wilds of Brooklyn; from a girl with options to a girl with none -- convinced that cancer struck because she herself is somehow at fault.

With her take-no-prisoners perspective, her depressive humor, and her extreme vulnerability, Dahlia Finger is an unforgettable anti-heroine. This staggering portrait of one young woman's life and death confirms Elisa Albert as a witty, incisive (Variety) and even wonder-inducing writer (Time Out New York).

Not indestructible, but well worth it
Color: GT-2P, Color: GT-2P
First things first…it’s solid, literally. Very hard and if you have tile or wood floors, it’s ridiculously loins when it hits the floor. With that said, we’ve had our dogs chewing on these for about a month now. All 3 are aggressive chewers. As you can see in my pic, there are signs of chewing on the ends of the bone. I’ve noticed they all seem to gravitate towards them assuming they think they can chew through it. Not the case. The material itself made of is hard but I almost think they enjoy the feeling of the bone against their teeth and gums. I regularly watch our biggest chewer lay on the couch for what seems like hours just biting on it. The bone itself has held up extremely well and haven’t shown any signs of splintering, breaking, or falling apart. This making us feel the bone is safe considering how much they love to chew and how well it’s held up. It looks like a bone. This seems to be a factor in them wanting and/or seeking it out when they want to chew on something. Great to keep close in the living room and gets almost immediate engagement from all of them when I pull it out. Well worth it if you have problem dogs that chew everything and anything. Great as a distraction and from what we’ve seen, great for hours of engagement. Highly recommend for sure.

Excellent toy for aggressive chewer dogs!!!
Color: GT-2P, Color: GT-2P
These treats are super heavy duty! My German shepherd is a good eater. This includes chewing on many things that are not make to be dog toys. I need to keep her occupied and chewing toys that are made specifically for aggressive chewers. She’s quite wily and can usually take apart those supposed aggressive chewers toys very fast. That’s why I love these toys. They actually are for aggressive chewers and keep my best friend busy chewing for days! I love that you can add soft treats or doggy toothpaste to the grooves in these. The raised bumps on the toy are also supposed to help clean teeth. A dog toy that helps with bad breath? I will take two please! Plus, love that these can be cleaned easily, even in the dish washer, and have long lasting bacon scents that my girl loves. In all seriousness, these are strange looking but very functional chew toys. They do not make a mess (other than my dog drooling all over - haha). You can even add doggy peanut butter! Perfect for big dogs and aggressive chewers. I would caution against using for any elderly dog and or dog that doesn’t have strong teeth. Good value for the price (a little over $5 each on sale) considering how long these toys last. Also a good gift.

Dog approved!
My dogs love this. This is the 3rd time I have bought them. They are entertained for hours and keeping their teeth strong. They pay me no attention when they have this toy. 😂
