Description:


A Novel Ideais a memoir in photoessay form that follows Fiona McGregor's life as she
writes her award-winning novelIndelible Ink. It is a tongue-in-cheek
rumination on the monotony and loneliness of the novelist's daily life, and the
act of endurance the writer must perform.


Through an extended
sequence of photographs taken on a hand-me-down camera, accompanied by terse,
evocative captions, the book spans several yearsof labour and
procrastination, elation and despair.The details of the outside world
intrude as McGregor works on the novel alone in her Bondi flat, with nothing
but a desk, a pin-board, a laptop and a cat, and in studio spaces in Berlin and Estonia.


McGregor's voice is
wry, vulnerable, at times caustic, capturing the colloquial qualities of her
fiction and the durational nature of her performance art via the ephemeral and
essential thoughts that take up an author's days, weeks, and years.


'A Novel Ideais a curiosity and a delight. Composed over years, Fiona McGregor's intimate photo-essay charts writing a novel: that collision of exhilaration, tedium, despair and sheer slog. It will captivate writers and readers alike.' — Michelle de Kretser

'Fiona McGregor casts out any pretence to literary mystique in a deadpan, ruthlessly honest, witty and at times surprisingly moving first person photographic narrative that draws us in, disarms us, leaves us vulnerable to the sudden poignancy of certain observations and revelations.' — Blair French

Great but not indestructible
Color: KING KONG
Great product but it is not indestructible for my aggressive chewer. This is the second time I have purchased because he loves it so much and it keeps him occupied for hours.

My puppy LOVES it!
Color: KING KONG
This is the best thing! My 5 month old golden retriever lives his "King Kong". She chews on this for at least 10-15 minutes at a time. Loved it. And it doesn't show any wear at all. It's HEAVY so Mom watch out for toes when they drop it😁

They love these. For tough chewers and fun
Color: KING KONG
The dogs love this. I have Pitbulls and a Cattle dog/Basset mix. It gets a lot of use. If you've had BENEBONES. these will be a little different. They're a different material. But work the same. My dogs go after both these and the Benebones. If you're wondering, these DO produce little sharp pieces of plastic material. Always monitor your dogs.

Fun design, dog loved it but keeps getting teeth stuck so had to toss it out.
Color: KING KONG
My dog likes this and I thought it was a great option. It's a fun character design. We ran into a problem though - she keeps getting her lower jaw/teeth stuck between the two arms of the ape. The distance between the fists is just wide enough to allow her teeth through it, but narrow enough that they get stuck and then she starts yelping until she figures out how to free her lower jaw. The first time, I thought it was a fluke. The second time, I took it away and tossed it. Maybe a future design could give more space between the fists.

Keep chewing boys!
Color: KING KONG
There is nothing that can't be destroyed. The nice thing about dog toys from this company, is that they last a long time. We have 3 dogs 🐕, 2 of them are aggressive cheers. Over time, these dog toys will develop some sharp edges. When the dogs want to play, if they rub that toy on your ankle, it can remove skin. The toy is still intact, but becomes hazardous to the humans in the house. That is when you go back to the Amazon site, and order new toys. Our dogs love these, as they are a challenge to chew. And they do last a long time.
