Grendel by John Gardner7/5/2023 ![]() Still not feeling it? Try this: ever wondered about your purpose in life or place in the universe. ![]() What does this mean in regular terms? Well, have you ever taken a look at your parents (or your sibs) and thought, “Are we really the same species?” Have you ever questioned the motives or characters of authority figures? Those are the same big issues we all have to deal with every day-but Grendel deals with them hard, maybe so that we don’t have to. Our monster hero is just trying to figure out who he is and what his life means. John Gardner uses this weird story about a monster to tackle some huge issues, including, you know, life, death, and the nature of the universe. No, seriously: it doesn’t get much more real than Grendel. ![]() Hold the popcorn, folks, because things are about to get real. ![]()
