Goat: A Memoir

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Nick Jonas, thisÂ searing memoir of fraternity culture and the perils of hazingÂ provides an unprecedented windowÂ into the emotional landscape of young men.

Reeling from a terrifying assault that has left him physically injured and psychologically shattered, nineteen-year-old Brad Land must also contend with unsympathetic local police, parents who can barely discuss â€œthe incidentâ€ (as they call it), a brother riddled with guilt but unable to slow down enough for Brad to keep up, and the feeling that heâ€™ll never be normal again.

When Bradâ€™s brother enrolls at Clemson University and pledges a fraternity, Brad believes heâ€™s being left behind once and for all. Desperate to belong, he follows. What happens thereâ€”in the name of â€œbrotherhood,â€ and with the supposed goal of forging a scholar and a gentleman from the raw materials of boyhoodâ€”involves torturous late-night hazing, heartbreaking estrangement from his brother, and, finally, the death of a fellow pledge. Ultimately, Brad must weigh total alienation from his newfound community against accepting a form of brutality he already knows too well.
