Grendel Audiobook
Shared by:chouyee
John Gardner
Narrated by George Guidall
64Kbps
George Guidall’s crusty but spirited narration is perfectly suited for the monster Grendel. Gardner’s 1971 classic takes the Anglo Saxon Beowulf epic and uses varying translations of the poem and other writings from the period to tell the story from the poor monster’s viewpoint. Most first-person narratives translate well to the audio format, and Grendel especially enchants, casting a spell not unlike a grown-up “Lord of the Rings.” The monster observes humans from a revealing and telling vantage. Just like a child in the schoolyard, Grendel picks up certain curse words and takes joy in repeating them. This has resulted in Gardner’s book being challenged at the many schools where it is rightfully part of the curriculum. Guidall’s voice is familiar enough for a still-fresh tale. This is storytelling at its best.

Hi this geta stuck at 94.4%…
And here’s story of how I got here making this request to get this book…
I’m watching a Dave Bautista film, which led me to check his IMDB. I then see in his upcoming films, ‘Grendel’ is one. Its another indy with a pretty Hollywood cast. Dave has recently done a few indies since GOTG ended for him. So I saw the plot and thought, “oh, the story but from the monster’s POV. Neat. And then saw the film’s inspiration. This book. And here I am.
