Description from Amazon.com
The first and most terrifying monster in English literature, from the great early epic Beowulf, tells his own side of the story in this frequently banned book. This classic and much lauded retelling of Beowulf follows the monster Grendel as he learns about humans and fights the war at the center of the Anglo Saxon classic epic. This is the book William Gass called "one of the finest of our contemporary fictions."
“When I was a child I truly loved:
Unthinking love as calm and deep
As the North Sea. But I have lived,
And now I do not sleep.”
― John Gardner, Grendel

I really enjoyed this tale and thought I should share it. I am sending this book on a journey in emmejo’s Otherworldly Bookbox. Happy Travels Grendel!

Going through the bins of TBR book crossing books and decided to pass this along unread. Hopefully it will find a more appreciative reader.
