O! Enkidu!

The Other Story of the Epic of Gilgamesh

In the oldest recorded story of the Western world, a wild man is created by the gods to bring down the most powerful king the world had ever seen. And in that tale the wild man, Enkidu, is instead “civilized” and helps the king increase his power.

That’s the story told by the scribes, anyway. But there’s another story here. And in O! Enkidu!, Eric Farnsworth tells us that story with a compelling simplicity.

Eric Farnsworth's new (only) book, available now from Sphinx Books.

Eric Farnsworth

Isn’t a writer. He isn’t much of a bicycle mechanic or gardener or welder either, for that matter.

Still, he does those things.

He lives in Kansas with his wife Jean, and they dance Tango.
