Three Rings
A Tale of Exile, Narrative, and Fate
Daniel Mendelsohn
"Three Rings" by Daniel Mendelsohn explores the connection between the randomness of our lives and the art of storytelling. Blending memoir, biography, history, and literary criticism, Mendelsohn intertwines the stories of three exiled writers who turned to the classics to create their masterpieces. As the book unfolds, Mendelsohn shares his own struggles to write about his family's past and his relationship with his father. With a startling conclusion that links the lives of the three heroes, "Three Rings" challenges readers to reconsider the relationship between narrative and history, art and life.
