"A book of visceral and tender beauty whose echoes persist long after the final page." 
—David Mitchell, author of The Bone Clocks

A coming of age tale of brutal beauty and disarming tenderness from one of Brazil's most exciting young novelists, an author writing in the footsteps of "Roberto Bolaño, Jim Harrison, the Coen brothers and...Denis Johnson" (The New York Times)

A young man wakes up at dawn to drive to the Andes, to climb the Cerro Bonete--a mountain untouched by ice axes and climbers, one of the planet's final mountains to be conquered--as an act of heroic bravado, or foolishness. But instead, he finds himself dragged, by the undertow of memory, to Esplanada, the neighborhood he grew up in, to the brotherhood of his old friends, and to the clearing in the woods where he witnessed an act that has run like a scar through the rest of his life.

Back in Esplanada, the young man revisits his initiation into adulthood and recalls his boyhood friends who formed a strange and volatile pack. Together they play video games, get drunk around bonfires, pick fights, and goad each other into bike races where the winner is the boy who has the most spectacular crash. Caught between the threat of not being man enough, the desire to please his friends, and the intoxicating contact-high of danger, the boy finds himself following the rules of the pack even as the risks mount. And in a moment that reverberates and repeats itself in new ways in his adulthood, his fantasies of who he is and what it means to be a man come crashing down, and life asserts itself as an endless rehearsal for a heroic moment that may never arrive.

From one of Brazil's most dazzling writers, The Shape of Bones is an exhilarating story of mythic power. Daniel Galera has written a pulse-racing novel with the otherworldly wisdom of a parable.

Excellent
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
I will purchase this again and again as long as it is made in the USA. I have bought this specific toy 3 times for one of my dogs. He still has all three of them. They are durable, long lasting and are not dangerous like some toys are if they start to come apart or after they’ve been chewed on for a while. With these chew toys, you can tell they’ve been chewed on but they don’t fall apart or come apart in large chunks. I watch my dogs with their toys and have had to take away other toys, even from Nylabone, because large pieces will come off or they will get too sharp where they’ve been chewed. Not this one. I’ll keep buying this one as long as it is USA-made. My dog has not damaged his teeth on this toy. I do get the wolf size which is good for dogs up to 50 pounds and he is 66 pounds.

Some dogs will probably love this.
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
My dogs were not very excited about this bone. I don’t think they are particularly picky, so I’m not sure why.

Depending on dog size, you may want to adjust bone size
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
This bone is attractive to both my 60 lb dogs. They're more light to moderate chewers at best but I remember when my youngest was a puppy, these things would buy me quite a few hours of quiet time. We repeatedly bought the ring style- must have had at least 5 as she was a rather voracious chewer. However, I don't mind replacing Nylabones one bit; they hold up well/can take A LOT of wear and make an excellent redirect for your bored puppy who ruined your favorite pair of shoes. I went down a size and bought a medium; I find that both dogs (full sized male Australian Shepherd + female lab/doberman mix) have trouble carrying a large size due to weight and this one is perfect for them! I would previously buy large ones who would barely ever get touched. However, you also don't want to buy one that's too small, so it's a fine line when you've got a dog who is somewhat in a weight range borderline.

Safe chew bone for strong chewers.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
This bone is exactly as advertised. I feel comfortable knowing it won’t splinter and last a good while. Only bone I let my dog chew.
