Giles Goat-Boy
Raised as a goat boy by a disgraced scholar on a remote farm, Billy Boxfurs—later renamed George—spends his childhood frolicking with goats, learning simple truths about kindness and boundaries. But a fateful fall over the fence thrusts him into the chaotic, absurd world of New Tammany College, where he’s cast as the prophesied "Great Tutor. Navigating cutthroat campus politics, a tyrannical AI system called WESCAC, and a ragtag cast of eccentric characters—from ruthless power-player Morris Stoker to compassionate Anastasia—George grapples with his fractured identity: is he a goat, a human, or something in between? As he confronts false rules, staged trials, and the mind-bending paradox of "passing through failure," he uncovers that the line between success and ruin is far blurrier than institutions want you to believe. This sharp postmodern satire skewers institutional hypocrisy, explores the fluidity of identity, and asks: what does it really mean to "graduate" from the chaos of life?
