The first and most terrifying monster in English literature, from the great early epic BEOWULF, tells his side of the story.
Review:
"In Gardner's updating, Grendel becomes a symbol of ultimate nihilism....But this novel is no mere allegory. Its forces are more flesh than metaphysics, and 'Grendel' is a tale full of action, observation, poetry, and strange to say humor. Grendel possesses, for all his negativism, a sort of Holden Caulfield charm....The world, Mr. Gardner seems to be suggesting, in his violent, inspiring, awesome, terrifying narrative, has to defeat its Grendels, yet somehow, he hints, both ecologically and in deeper ways, that world is a poorer place when men and their monsters cannot coexist."
Christian Science Monitor, 09/09/71
Review:"[This] is a first-person account of Grendel the monster, a study of maniacal drive, fear, loneliness, and craving for communication. Gardner's Grendel is properly shrewd and sympathetic. The author uses the Beowulf story closely, adroitly weaving in translations from the poem and material from other Old English writings. Carefully casual anachronisms are scattered throughout, heightening the Ionesco-like atmosphere, at once grotesque in its awareness of 20th-Century psychology and shrouded in ancient myths. Gardner has captured the essence of the world of Beowulf, of northern winters, violent drinking bouts, truces and broken vows, and the mysterious coming of the stranger who held the power to heal old wrongs in his hands."
