The Late Ray Bradbury once said of John Weston's GOAT SONGS, "I hope anyone who cares about excellent writing will read this book." That comment well defines this magical book and its essence: quality fiction. GOAT SONGS explores far beneath and beyond the surface of its characters to realms of human relationships rarely explored. It seeks to define the motivations of its people in the remote world of pagan sensuality from which the idea of the title is derived. Originally published in 1971 and much beloved by many, the original book was a triptych of three novellas. But it was the long middle novella, GOAT SONGS, that was so intriguing. In this Fiftieth Anniversary Edition, that novella is reproduced exactly as it was written originally. Among his other works, John Weston's novel JOLLY was chosen by the NEW YORK TIMES as one of the outstanding novels of the year when it was published. His novel HAIL HERO! was also well received by critics and was made into a movie staring Michael Douglas in one of his first starring roles.
