Description:
A major, retrospective launch of Roberto Bolano's work - now published as a Vintage Classics author for the first time.



Two young poets, Jan and Remo, find themselves adrift in Mexico City.




Obsessed with poetry, and, above all, with science fiction, they are eager to forge a life in the literary world. But as close as these friends are, the city tugs them in opposite directions.




Jan withdraws from the world, shutting himself in their shared rooftop apartment where he feverishly composes fan letters to the stars of science fiction. Meanwhile, Remo runs head-first into the future, spending his days and nights with a circle of wild young writers, seeking pleasure in the city's labyrinthine streets, rundown cafes, and murky bathhouses.

Indestructible as far as I can tell! Just wish there were more to it to catch my dog's attention!
I don't really care for these toys very much. While they most definitely are what I would consider indestructible, they just don't seem to be very pleasant at all for my dogs to play with. Don't get me wrong, I love the indestructible dynamic with these toys. The thing that I don't like is that they're just extremely hard nylon, which I always pictured nylon to be what the dog's collar is made out of, not this brick hard plastic. But I guess it's nylon that has been melted down and allowed to cool and harden, because what I thought these toys were made out of, was just some sort of extremely hard plastic. I have hunting dogs, there beagles and basset hounds and bloodhounds, that are all medium sized dogs, and they're not extremely aggressive chewers to begin with. They are fairly well ready to go when it comes to their teeth and chewing on things, but I would consider them closer to medium on the aggressive chewing scale. And their mouths are not nearly as big or strong as some of your bigger tougher breeds. But, they just seem to get real bored with these toys, really fast. And I'm sure that it's because they don't have any squeaks, they don't have any multiple textures or sounds that they make. It's just the one chicken foot shaped piece of extremely hard plastic. I guess my dogs are accustomed to having toys that have a squeak inside that they can look for, or some of that rustling paper stuff that they can make noise with, or something with various textures like a rope or some rubber or just something different besides stick of really hard plastic. I guess these toys are probably ideal for your larger, tougher breeds that tear up those more versatile types of toys in less than a day. But I just wish that there was a little something more to it than a stick of hard plastic that's shaped like a chicken foot. In my opinion the asking price for these toys is just not really worth it! I would not recommend this product to my friends and family!!

Great chew toy. It is wonderful that there are two toys in the order. Both of my large dogs like them. Pretty durable and these dogs chew a lot. Highly recommend.

Great Stuff
Set name: DinoBone 2-Pack XL, Set name: DinoBone 2-Pack XL
About as indestructible as it gets. It's just very hard molded material. I always make sure to wash the dog toys before letting them play, who knows where they come from. Picture is after hours/days of the built playing with it

Stood up against Brody test
Set name: DinoBone 2-Pack XL
Brody is a 3yr old 85lbs pit mix and has always been able to completely destroy anything that says "able to withstand the most aggressive chewing " these products live up to the claim!! It has been at least 3 days since Brody has been chewing on the toys and they are holding their own against him! Highly recommended for aggressive chewers.

Indestructible??
Set name: DinoBone 2-Pack XL, Set name: DinoBone 2-Pack XL
I am giving this product 1 star but it really deserves 0 stars. Their definition of indestructible is different than mine, my pit bull had the ends of this toy chewed off and splintered in 2 days, I'm praying that I don't have to take her to the vet because she might have swallowed some of the material that it's made with. I believe that this is a dangerous product for a dog. I will be sending them back including the one that she chewed.
