John Gardner is the author of the novel Grendel written in 1971. It is a restating of part of the Old English poem Beowulf from the perspective of the antagonist, Grendel. In the novel, Grendel is portrayed as an anti-hero. The novel deals with finding meaning in the world, the power of literature and myth, and the nature of good and evil.

Gardner likes to play around with the standards of narrative, and we can see that quite clearly in his choice to show us the other side of the Beowulf story.
