GOATMAN

HOW I TOOK A HOLIDAY FROM BEING HUMAN

di THWAITES THOMAS
Editore: PRINCETON ARCHITECTURAL PRESS  (2016)
GOATMAN

Descrizione

The dazzling success of The Toaster Project, including TV appearances and an international book tour, leaves Thomas Thwaites in a slump. His friends increasingly behave like adults, while Thwaites still lives at home, "stuck in a big, dark hole." Luckily, a research grant o ers the perfect out: a chance to take a holiday from the complications of being human by transforming himself into a goat. What ensues'is a hilarious and surreal journey through engineering, design, and psychology, as Thwaites interviews neuroscientists, animal behaviorists, prosthetists, goat sanctuary workers, and goatherds. From this, he builds a goat exoskeleton-artificial legs, helmet, chest protector, raincoat from his mum, and a prosthetic goat stomach to digest grass (with help from a pressure cooker and campfire)-before setting off across the Alps on four legs with a herd of his fellow creatures. Will he make it? Do Thwaites and his readers discover what it truly means to be human? GoatMan tells all in Thwaitess inimitable style, which NPR extols as "a laugh- out-loud-funny but thoughtful guide through his own adventures."
