Description:
The Walking Boy is a quest novel set in early eighth-century
Tang Dynasty China, in the final days of the rule of the first Female Emperor
Wu Zhao. The ailing hermit monk Harelip sends his disciple Baoshi on a
pilgrimage from Mount Hua to Chang'an, the Western capital; Baoshi is the 'walking
boy' charged with locating Harelip's missing former lover Ardhanari. Baoshi
lives with a secret only his Master knows, and he is filled with fears of being
discovered. On his journey, Baoshi crosses paths with both commoners and imperial
officials, as well as others who take delight in their queer identities; in
doing so, he is released powerfully from his past shame.
The Walking Boy is a book of quiet subversion, upending
classical Chinese tropes with contemporary ideas around gender and feminism. Filled
with psychological complexities, magic and poetic allusions to classical
Chinese literature, The Walking Boy
explores the intrigue of inner alchemy while exorcising the ghosts of history.
'In The Walking Boy, Kwa's world-building is meticulous and
rich, her characters both intellectually gripping and incredibly sensual, and
she puts her signature subversive queer, feminist spin on the narrative.' — Amber Dawn, author of Sodom Road Exit
'At the court, at the caves, in the cities and the mountains,
secrets and mysteries abound. This novel has it all, palace intrigues,
betrayals, spirits, enlightenment, magic, and visual and sensual delights. A
diverse cast of fascinating characters and, page after page, poetic
pronouncements to guide one, to live and to die by. I was spellbound to the

Very cute toy
I THOUGHT IT WOUKD BE BIGGER. it's about the size of 24 oz water bottle. Kinda small in my opinion. The dogs loved it but I've had it a week and it's already torn apart....my dogs are only about 3 months old so not very strong yet, so I would say it's like mid quality. I'll probably just sew the seam back together and call it good tbh.

My yorkie destroyed
It says it’s very durable so that’s why I bought it although the body and ropes are good the ears on the horse came off in the first day with my small dog so be careful with the ears and other looser things on the animals. The rope untied many times as well not a big deal I just knotted it back but she still loves this toy so it’s okay I’m my book just watch for ripping of ears and other parts on the head of this toy

Head and body ripped after less than 5 min of tug
Color: Scrunch Bunch Bunny, Color: Scrunch Bunch Bunny
The seam beteeen the head and body failed after less than five minutes of supervised tug with a 35 pound dog. This is NOT a tough toy. No reinforced stitching.
Absolutely unsafe - a dog could easily rip open the neck and get at the squeakers, which are small enough to be swallowed and lodged in an intestine.

Good but not as tough as advertised
Color: Scrunch Bunch Duck
My dog absolutely loved this toy. He was obsessed immediately! It was his (and our) first crinkle toy. He loves the crinkle though it’s a bit distracting for me as it kind of sounds like he’s getting into something he shouldn’t. I love that there are two squeakers, one in the belly and one in one of the handles to squeak on during tug of war. Though he enjoys this toy, the head ripped off during a mild tug only about a few hrs after delivery. My dog is a medium sized 25 lb dog, he is not super strong or a super chewer by any means so I was surprised that it tore so easily. The fabric itself seems strong enough to withstand mild chewing but the seams aren’t as tough as they are advertised. If you don’t mind mending your dogs toys, it’s a very fun toy that’s easy to play with your dog as the handles work well for tug of war, just keep in mind that anything over a small sized dog will probably tear this toy apart during a play session.
