New York Alfred A. Knopf 1973 First Edition [stated], presumed first printing Hardcover Good [12], 354, [2] pages. Frontis illustration. Illustrations. Cover has some wear and soiling. Inscribed "To Ed With admiration" by author on fep. Sticker removed from inside front cover. Slightly shaken. No Dust Jacket present. John Champlin Gardner Jr. (July 21, 1933-September 14, 1982) was an American novelist, essayist, literary critic and university professor. He is best known for his 1971 novel Grendel, a retelling of the Beowulf myth from the monster's point of view. Gardner was a lifelong teacher of fiction writing. He was a favorite at the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference. His two books on the craft of writing fiction-The Art of Fiction and On Becoming a Novelist-are considered classics.

Jason and Medeia, a retelling of this gory legend of destiny and defiance, of man as a cunning upstart and woman as a vengeful sorceress, of dragons' teeth and fire-breathing bulls, is impressive. The descriptive passages evoke a kind of stage direction, and the spangled adventures on and off the Argo--scenes of "evil deeds, " scenes "seismic in love ...
