I had to shoutout this fabulous new translation of Beowulf by Maria Dahvana Headley in my August Favorites but I couldn’t resist adding this as my day five pick for the Falloween Reading Guide. If you can get the audiobook version, it’s four hours of gravelly consonants and resonant “bro”s that you will not regret. For us native English speakers, this is the first great work of literature in the oldest iteration of our language and feeling it updated is like smooth whiskey on the tongue.
