Description

Grendel is a retelling of Beowulf from the monster's own perspective. This thought-provoking novel explores the complexities of human nature through the eyes of the first and most terrifying monster in English literature. In this frequently banned book, Grendel tells his side of the story, revealing a nuanced and deeply human character. The result is one of the finest contemporary fictions, according to William Gass. With its unique narrative voice and exploration of the human condition, Grendel is an extraordinary achievement in modern fiction.
