One day, he finally achieves this dream, only to be propelled by a series of incidents--grim and absurd--into a slave-like existence, herding goats in the middle of the Saudi desert. Memories of his loving family and of the lush, verdant landscape of his village haunt Najeeb, whose only solace is the companionship of goats. In the end, the lonely young man is forced to contrive a hazardous scheme to escape his desert prison. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An instant bestseller in India, \u003ci\u003eGoat Days\u003c\/i\u003e is available for the first time in English, translated by Joseph Koyippally.
