Query: This is Gilgamesh?

I picked up this book expecting a great read, since I love the Gilgamesh epic--and was I ever shocked and appalled! Grundy has taken one of literature's greatest epics and warped it into a gay love story! Gilgamesh and Enkidu as eternal lovers! Not in the translations of the epic I read in literature class and on my own. He really missed the boat on this one, or maybe he thought modern readers could not or would not read a more faithful rendition of the tale. Or maybe it is just political correctness run amuck. The classic themes of man versus nature, friendship and loyalty, and human mortality have been sadly eclipsed in this version. Needless to say, I could not finish the book. My advice is to stick to the original versions of Gilgamesh out there, particularly the verse rendition by Danny Jackson.
