Arthur Rex by Thomas Berger
A Legendary Novel
A witty, erudite retelling of the Arthurian cycle that follows the rise and fall of a king whose ideal of chivalry collides with human frailty: guided by a mysterious enchanter, surrounded by noble knights, and bound to a queen whose passions spark loyalty and ruin, the story traces quests, courtly intrigues, the search for the Grail, and the slow dissolution of a golden age as personal desires, political ambition, and mythic destiny conspire to bring the realm to ruin. This version blends modern voice and humor with medieval motifs to probe themes of honor, longing, and the limits of idealism.
