When Grendel is drawn up from the caves under the mere, where he
lives with his bloated, inarticulate hag of a mother, into the
fresh night air, it is to lay waste Hrothgar's meadhall and heap
destruction on the humans he finds there. What else can he do? For
he is not like the men who busy themselves with God and love and
beauty. He sees the infuriating human rage for order and recognises
the meaninglessness of his own existence. GRENDEL is John Gardner's
masterpiece; it vividly reinvents the world of Beowulf. In Grendel
himself, a creature of grotesque comedy, pain and disillusioned
intelligence, Gardner has created the most unforgettable monster in
fantasy.
