Sir Gawain's Quest is a retelling of the Arthurian tale Sir Gawain and the Green Knight as an epic poem. In this version, the gods fluidly intermingle with mortals, true to the ancient Greek genre of epic poems, and the classic story becomes a vehicle for a reflection on the metaphysical nature of human beings, earth, and the universe. The theme of unknown heroics is an extension of the book's other poems, which boldly expose the inhumanity found in modern China and call for justice against the communist regime that rules the rising international power.
