Episode 21: "Goat" by James McBride

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Buzzed British Book Club, your favorite fake British friends Kit and Bridge dive into the wonderfully vibrant world of "Goat," a short story written by the multi-talented James McBride. They learned many life lessons, like "If it looks like a buzzard, and smells like a buzzard, it ain't catfish."


    In this close knit community living in a rural corner of Pennsylvania, where electricity is scare and opportunities even more so, Goat's chance to get out is his speed. He can run circles around just about anyone. But the circles keep spinning in this tale as the girls puzzled over the secrets Goat's teacher discovers and what it means for the characters and the real people they are meant to reflect.
