GANADORA DEL YOUNG LIONS FICTION AWARD, FINALISTA DEL PREMIO DYLAN THOMAS, Y UNA DE LAS MEJORES NOVELAS DEL AÑO SEGÚN VARIOS MEDIOS «Una obra magistral, su mejor libro hasta la fecha». -Publishers Weekly «Maravillosa, bellísimamente escrita [...], con una atmósfera inquietante [...]. No puedo dejar de insistir en lo dulce, lo ágil y lo entretenida que es esta novela». -Lionel Shriver, Financial Times Una persona llega a un pequeño pueblo de Estados Unidos. Las gentes del lugar la encuentran durmiendo en un banco de la iglesia, donde se ha refugiado durante la noche. Es imposible discernir su raza, su edad o su sexo y, aunque entiende el idioma en el que le hablan, se niega a pronunciar palabra o a contar su historia. La comunidad local, unida por una fuerte fe religiosa, se muestra dispuesta a acogerla y le da el nombre de Altar, pero en los seis días siguientes, previos al misterioso Festival del Perdón, su presencia acaba exponiendo los miedos más profundos y las hipocresías de la congregación. Lacey ha creado una fábula hipnótica que nos plantea preguntas urgentes sobre nuestra identidad, nuestro cuerpo y nuestra capacidad de entendimiento: una novela perturbadora y esencial. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION WINNER of the 2021 NYPL Young Lions Fiction Award. Finalist for the 2021 Dylan Thomas Prize. Longlisted for the 2021 PEN/Jean Stein Book Award, the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction and the Joyce Carol Oates Prize. One of Publishers Weekly's Best Fiction Books of 2020. "The people of this community are stifling, and generous, cruel, earnest, needy, overconfident, fragile and repressive, which is to say that they are brilliantly rendered by their wise maker, Catherine Lacey." -Rachel Kushner, author of The Flamethrowers In a small, unnamed town in the American South, a church congregation arrives for a service and finds a figure asleep on a pew. The person is genderless and racially ambiguous and refuses to speak. One family takes in the strange visitor and nicknames them Pew. As the town spends the week preparing for a mysterious Forgiveness Festival, Pew is shuttled from one household to the next. The earnest and seemingly well-meaning townspeople see conflicting identities in Pew, and many confess their fears and secrets to them in one-sided conversations. Pew, Catherine Lacey's third novel, is a foreboding, provocative, and amorphous fable about the world today: its contradictions, its flimsy morality, and the limits of judging others based on their appearance. With precision and restraint, one of our most beloved and boundary-pushing writers holds up a mirror to her characters' true selves, revealing something about forgiveness, perception, and the faulty tools society uses to categorize human complexity.Shipping Notes

It is good for small yards but not so good for distance.
Size: 1-pack
Getting used to a ball thrower takes practice. This one is no exception. The angle is off for me. If I use it as an extension of my arm it goes straight to the ground, but once I got the hang of it. Balls launch with great height. Distance isn't a feature for this tool.

Get a longer launcher. This only throws 30 ft
Size: 1+3pack
Buy a longer launcher!!!
I got what I paid for!
A 12.2 inch launcher does not build up enough energy to throw it very far and it is tweaking my elbow. The dog is very disappointed since the ball only goes about 30 feet. I’ll keep it for small dog park use. The balls are hard and my 22 pound Cockapoo can’t get it to squeak.

These are dog tested and approved.
Size: 1-pack
The launcher works very well and will probably last forever unless your dog chews it up while bring it to you to get you to play, but the balls, well, they're not made for labs, that's for sure. That's the bad news. The good news is that worn out or abandon tennis balls fit the launcher just fine. Save your throwing arm. Do your dog(s) a favor. Buy this thing.

No angle for correct throwing
Size: 1-pack, Size: 1-pack
This item does not work. It is about ) inches tall. It’s tiny to bend over and pick up the ball. Has no angel for the ball to throw accurately. Ball goes downward. Would not recommend
