About this listen

This scholarly essay examines John Champlain Gardner's attack on existential nihilism in his satirical work Grendel. This lengthy essay has been referenced in numerous critical works on Gardner's satirical classic about an existential monster who chooses to construct a worldview based on chaos, violence, and absolute anarchy.
