"Le Grendel de John Gardner est à la saga de Beowulf ce que l'Ulysse de James Joyce est à L'Odyssée d'Homère. Dans les deux cas, il s'agit d'une complète trahison. Cette violence faite au texte original n'est rendue possible que par une claire compréhension de l'oeuvre, et se justifie par un impératif supérieur, celui de la création littéraire. Chez John Gardner, l'acte de réécriture se double d'une dette jamais acquittée à l'égard de son frère dont il est le meurtrier." Xavier Mauméjean. Grendel, qui narre l'épopée de Beowulf du point de vue du monstre, s'est imposé en moins de quarante ans comme un des grands classiques de la fantasy anglo-saxonne. Court, brutal, d'un humour ravageur, ce conte philosophique frappe le lecteur avec la force d'une comète, dans l'éblouissement.

Plongez dans Grendel, le chef-d’œuvre de John Gardner qui revisite l’épopée de Beowulf du point de vue du monstre. Un conte philosophique, brutal et drôle, devenu un classique incontournable de la fantasy. Une lecture qui bouscule et fascine !
