Grendel (the book) by John Gardner

Post Reply New Topic

This has to be one of my favorite books of all time.

I read it my senior year in high school. It's about that monster in Beowulf, and is told from his point of view. He's very sarcastic, existential, moodyand talks to himself. He's a loner, sad, and frustrated with his inability to connect with the world.

I wrote a senior thesis on it. It's a great read.

Anyone else like it?
