Publisher's Summary

At turns shockingly fierce and surprisingly tender, Goat is a shattering memoir that graphically portrays the scarred emotional landscape of young men. Brad is driving two strangers home from a party when he realizes they are leading him to the middle of nowhere. Viciously beaten and left in the middle of the road, Brad survives. But as his physical injuries heal, his psychological wounds worsen. Desperate to belong, he pledges his brother's fraternity. What he finds is not brotherhood and support, but alienation and more violence.

What the critics say

"A uniquely hip narrative style, gritty with plenty of heart....Immensely readable, Land's tough yet tender book speaks to the fears and isolation of young alienated adults with compelling power, candor, and compassion." (Publishers Weekly)
"An incredible memoir: riveting and relentless, shocking, brutal, just savagely good. And yet. Beautiful and brave." (Augusten Burroughs)
"This is a breathtaking book....Land's voice is distinct, melancholic, and original; the book is a wonderful debut." (Susan Orlean)
