His friends increasingly behave like adults, while Thwaites still lives at home, ”stuck in a big, dark hole.” Luckily, a research grant offers the perfect out: a chance to take a holiday from the complications of being human by transforming himself into a goat. What ensues is a hilarious & surreal journey through engineering, design, & psychology, as Thwaites interviews neuroscientists, animal behaviorists, prosthetists, goat sanctuary workers, & goatherds.

Goat Man tells all in Thwaites`s inimitable style, which NPR extols as ”a laugh-out- loud-funny but thoughtful guide through his own adventures.” ...
