Giles Goat-Boy

Trama

It's metafictional comic novel in which the world is portrayed as a university campus in an elaborate allegory of the Cold War. Its title character is a human boy raised as a goat, who comes to believe he is the Grand Tutor, the predicted Messiah. It marks Barth's leap into American postmodern Fabulism.
