Synopsis

Giles Goat-Boy (or The Revised New Syllabus of George Giles our Grand Tutor) is a 1966 novel written by John Barth. It is a satire and allegory of the American campus culture of the time. A paperback edition was issued in Garden City, N.Y. by Anchor Books in 1987 with ISBN 0-385-24086-4 . It is centered on the hero, George Giles, and his rise from farm animal to Grand Tutor of the New Tammany College. His quest is singularly to be a hero, but the tale is a multifaceted one of his becoming.
