A Goat's Song

A Goat's Song is a 1994 novel by Dermot Healy. It is considered by others as his finest and most famous work.[1][2][3]

According to Michael Harding's critique of the book, Healy "excelled himself in revealing the Irish male as the dreamer, the broken thing that a man becomes when the women have gone away."[1] The book centres on playwright Jack Ferris, his love affair with Catherine Adams and her father Jonathan, an RUC sergeant.[2][4]
