Ep 024 - Grendel, By John Gardner

July 30, 2013  /  Andrew Cunningham

This week's show is all about revisiting past shows - the book Craig read, John Gardner's Grendel , is a modern prequel and/or retelling of the Beowulf  myth. The book deals with monsters and the nature of good and evil, much like Frankenstein  or Jekyll and Hyde. The book is all about the roles we play and the ways we try to impose order on chaos, much like Breakfast of Champions . 

Anyway, this one's apparently for those of you who have been listening to us since the early days. Thanks for that!
