What Standing Up Is About

The summer camp has a tradition going back generations: two children are stripped and left on a small island in the lake to spend the night there. The chosen targets are called goats, which is how the place got the name Goat Island. Rather than come back and face the humiliation, Howie and Grace run, and what follows is three days on the move. D.J. Caruso adapted Brock Cole's 1987 novel The Goats, a book this record praises at length without ever naming it.
