Frodo鈥檚 Wound: Why The Lord of the Rings Is a Great Book

Krishnan Venkatesh
Role: Author
Krishnan Venkatesh has taught Eastern and Western philosophy for three decades at St. John鈥檚 College in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Frodo’s Wound is a collection of essays that address the lasting popularity of the Lord of the Rings. In it, Venkatesh argues that while epic conflict and heroic warriors may provide the initial allure to the book, what lingers and deepens with each reading is its emotional complexity, its knowledge of loss and grief, and its yearning for something only dimly understood.
