Dear John Gardner,

Well, gentle reader, we have read Grendel.

Whew!

So what did you think? And what do you think? Where do you place yourself on the Shaper-Dragon-Beowulf spectrum? We know all about poor Grendel's accident; how do we avoid our own?

And finally, what did you think of John Gardner's letter to those students? Let's pretend for a moment that Gardner is still alive... how would you respond to this letter? It's tone? It's content? It's anything?

Be brave, draft a response letter, and post it to the comments of this entry.

Dear John Gardner,
