Author: POIRIER, MARK
Title: Goats
Description: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, UK, 2001. Softcover. Very Good Condition. 9780747553618 288 pages. Available Now. Book Description: Ellis is fourteen. His parents have split up - Mom's gone New Age in Tucson with some asshole abstract artist; and Dad - Fucker Frank, is sporting nerdy glasses and retailing Mexican knick-knacks to Washington wannabes. Ellis is about to start at a squaresville boarding-school. It's your standard dysfunctional family thing. Except that Ellis has been hitting the bong since he was eleven, has a goat-man for a guru, and a weed-wisdom beyond his years. Goats is an extra-mellow coming-of-age tale - quirky, touching and very funny. It's about growing up and getting your shit together. : Review: 'A sly and wonderful novel ... Poirier fights deliberately shy of delivering a familiar coming-of-age story. Instead, Ellis and Goat Man's journey turns out to be as comically tricky as every other subtly sketched event and relationship' The Times 'Poirier is as on the ball as Salinger, as clued in as Hunter S. Thompson, and acutely tuned to right her, right now' Scotsman : From the Publisher: Reviews: 'A sly and wonderful novel' THE TIMES: 'Mark Poirier is one of the most kinetic, original, young fiction writers we've read in a long time' ESQUIRE: 'Poirier fights deliberatly shy of delivering a familiar coming-of-age story.
