How can we let it speak on its own terms, without forcing it into the categories of history? In \u003ci\u003eThe Third Solitude\u003c\/i\u003e, Benjamin Libman gathers and weaves the threads of multiple pasts - of his community, of his family, and of himself - in an attempt to escape the inadequate narratives around Zionism that he grew up with, and to create nothing short of a new paradigm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcross a series of interconnected memories, Libman leads us through the many fragments that make a life, unafraid to question deeply cherished beliefs about Jewish identity, and seeks to reconcile his own values with those inculcated in him. Along the way, he casts aside tired tropes and shores together the pieces of a new way of looking toward the future. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Third Solitude\u003c\/i\u003e is a paean to the art of losing, and to the visions of the past that persist in the present..\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenjamin Libman\u003c\/strong\u003e is a writer and translator whose work has appeared in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eYale Review\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eLondon Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePoetry\u003c\/i\u003e, and elsewhere.
