Joyleg is a science fiction novel co-authored by Avram Davidson and Ward Moore, first serialized in Fantastic magazine in 1962 and later published in paperback by Pyramid Books the same year. The story follows Isachar Joyleg, a man discovered in the Appalachian backwoods who appears to be over 200 years old, having served in the American Revolutionary War. His longevity is attributed to daily soaks in a special moonshine of his own making. The narrative delves into the comedic and satirical consequences of his discovery, exploring themes of bureaucracy, politics, and the clash between past and present.
