About the author
Maeve Sleibhin
Maeve Sleibhin is an 80 kg Saanen goat of exceptional style and grace, who travels the world peripatetically with her husband Billy and their three kids, none of whom share her enthusiasm for Aristotelian philosophy, but none of whom have as of yet been able to escape the iron grasp of its implacable logic. Impending adolescence promises to be somewhat climactic (and in this regard we have some concerns for the impact of her daughter, Sybille, on all variants of Aristotelian syllogisms and their adherents). While awaiting her impending doom, Maeve appreciates a good glass of wine, some cheese, and wilted flowers of all varieties.
