The follow-up to Fiona Wright's essay
collection Small Acts of Disappearance
– winner of the Nita B. Kibble Award and the Queensland Literary Award for Non-fiction,
shortlisted for the Stella Prize and the NSW Premier's Award for Non-fiction.
Our bodies and homes are
our shelters, each one intimately a part of the other. But what about those who
feel anxious, uncomfortable, unsettled within these havens? In The World Was
Whole, Fiona Wright examines how we inhabit and remember the familiar spaces
of our homes and suburbs, as we move through them and away from them into the
wider world, devoting ourselves to the routines and rituals that make up our
lives. These affectingly personal essays consider how all-consuming the
engagement with the ordinary can be, and how even small encounters and
interactions can illuminate our lives.
Many of the essays are set
in the inner and south-western suburbs of a major Australian city in the midst
of rapid change. Others travel to the volcanic coastline of Iceland, the
mega-city of Shanghai, the rugged Surf Coast of southern Victoria. The essays
are poetic and observant, and often funny, animated by curiosity and candour.
Beneath them all lies the experience of chronic illness and its treatment, and
the consideration of how this can reshape and reorder our assumptions about the
world and our place within it.

Great Toy for a Hot Dog!
One if not my dogs favorite toys! We have a long haired mini dachshund and she loves material and squeakiness of this toy. She’s a texture girl so loves the ruffles of the middle part that stretches.

Fabric lasted less than 3 minutes. Just buy cotton rope.
Style: Monkey Shape, Style: Monkey Shape
You might as well just buy cotton rope. We should have been more careful in reading the "fine print." The description does say, "For gentlemanly dogs, it is more durable and can be used with light chewing," and "it's not indestructible dog toy." Our dog can play with one of the duck/platypus plush toys ("best seller") for months until the fabric wears through. Our expectation of more than 3 minutes from package opening to the floor being covered with stuffing was too high.

Worth it for small dogs
Style: Monkey Shape, Style: Monkey Shape
Quality is good and durable. I have a dachshund and he hasn’t ripped the squeaker out yet! The squeak is a higher pitch noise. My dog loves it. It’s nice it doubles as a tug of rope toy and a stuffy. It matched description and pictures.
With all that being said if you have a bigger dog it probably won’t last long.
