Redemption | What Do I Read Next?
Grendel (1971) is perhaps Gardner's most famous novel. The story is a retelling of the Anglo-Saxon epic, Beowulf, from the monster's perspective.
Beowulf is considered a masterpiece of medieval literature. It is a tale of heroes and monsters, life and death. Anyone reading Grendel should also read Beowulf.
