Abstract:
Tony Williams's Nutcase translates Grettir's Saga into a modern setting. Saga shame- and social media shame cultures differ, particularly in what gives life to life. I draw on Beowulf, Grettir's Saga, current criticisms of both, cultural theory, and other novels that build upon these earlier texts.
