Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Giles Goat-Boy is the fourth novel by American writer John Barth. It is metafictional comic novel in which the universe is portrayed as a university campus in an elaborate allegory of both the hero's journey and 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. The book was a surprise bestseller for the previously obscure Barth, and in the 1960s had a cult status. It marks Barth's leap into American postmodern fabulism. Mass market paperback; stated first Fawcett Crest printing. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. Page edges show light foxing. Covers show shelf wear and some stress creases. No owner's marks or bookplates, not ex-library. Binding is tight and square. Corners lightly bumped. An excellent reading copy.

The hardcover edition was published in 1966. Mass Market Paperback. John Barth (born in 1930) is an American writer who is best known for his postmodern and metafictional fiction. His most highly regarded and influential works were published in the 1960s, and include The Sot-Weed Factor, a whimsical retelling of Maryland's colonial history, Giles Goat-Boy, a satirical fantasy in which a university is a microcosm of the Cold War world, and Lost in the Funhouse, a self-referential and experimental collection of short stories. He was co-recipient of the National Book Award in 1973 for his episodic novel Chimera. Giles Goat-Boy is a lengthy satirical fantasy based on the conceit of a university as the world of the Cold War, divided into East Campus and West Campus. A boy raised as a goat, Giles discovers his humanity and sets out on a quest to become a "Grand Tutor", a messiah-like spiritual leader within the university. The story is presented as a computer tape given to Barth, who in the text itself denies that it is his work. In the course of the novel Giles carries out all the tasks attributed to mythical heroes in Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces. It was a surprise best-seller and raised Barth's profile, calling more attention to his earlier work. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 813 pages.
