Giles Goat-Boy is an outrageously farcical adventure penned by the brilliant John Barth. It challenges our notions of technology, power, and human nature.

The story unfolds in an absurdist universe that takes the form of a university—divided into an authoritarian East Campus and a more open West Campus. Young George Giles, a human boy raised as a goat who comes to believe that he is humanity's prophesied messiah, rises to assume the title of Grand Tutor. As the spiritual leader of the world, he becomes the heroic defender of his people against the threat of a tyrannical computer system known as Wescac.

Hailed as a "fantasy of theology, sociology, and sex," Giles Goat-Boy has long been one of John Barth's most popular and multi-layered narratives. Join George on his epic journey as he navigates the complexities of his world, providing a satirical lens through which to view our own.
