As other reviewers have noted, Daniel Mendelssohn skillfully interweaves a compelling father and son narrative along with erudite commentary on the text of the Odyssey in this book. The prose is superb, the characters engaging and the narrative makes the reader interested enough to continue reading.What other reviewers seem to have missed is that the book itself literally is An Odyssey. That is, after describing the literary techniques and themes in Homer's Odyssey Mendelssohn employs the same techniques in relating his story. Look for examples such as ring circles in Mendelssohn's narrative, characters who both hide and reveal their personality and parallels such as Odysseus traveling to the underworld and then the real life characters in turn traveling to Hades symbolically.What this means is that Mendelssohn has not only weaved a story about fathers and sons into a book on the Odyssey but has actually written an Odyssey of his own in this same interweaving. The degree of care and meticulousness this craft demanded must have been immense.In short, this is not just a literary commentary, nor is it just a memoir. It is a full fledged work of art in which the author ingeniously casts both of these genres into a Homeric literary form.
Spectacular on every level. I loved The Lost, and eagerly anticipated diving into An Odyssey. Having read the Epic a number of times, I was familiar with the characters/story. This book brought it to life. I listened to it via Audible. Bronson Pinchot was absolutely brilliant, especially in the father's voice. Anyone who had a dad of that generation will find the portrayal of the father poignant yet spot on, definitely not a caricature. I thought my dear , clever, deceased dad who hailed from Bay RIdge Brooklyn, and won his not-the best-high school's Math award, was in the room.Though the paralleling seemed at times a bit forced, I loved the effort as the tale unfolded. The author's discovery phase towards the end of the book was truly revelatory. Not a lot of adjectives, just the facts, ma'am. A gorgeous rendering of a father/son relationship. At the end of the day, is it a sin to strive for parental approbation? Not if it results in a paean this wonderful. Thank you, yet again, Mr Mendellsohn. Your father was very proud of you. Of that I am certain.
I read this book in an absurdly short period of time. The subject matter was engrossing, funny and heartbreaking. I felt like I knew Jay, as well as the other students in the class. Everyone pops off the page. The way Mendelson writes is elegant, but this is not a pretentious memoir. Although he and his father are both brilliant, they are also practical men—and gritty in the best way possible. I adored the passion with which Jay pursued his Odyssean education. It's an excellent reminder to all of us that sometimes life lessons don't come packaged neatly. Getting to the heart of a matter may take time, but it is always worth it. I also enjoyed the way the author used a circular kind of structure to weave his own tale. Very mathematical. Jay would be very proud, I think!
Daniel Mendelsohn, a Classics professor at Bard College, has written "An Odyssey: A Father, a Son, and an Epic", a book, a memoir, almost a dissertation on what seem to be two of his favorite subjects, family and classical literature. An earlier book, "The Lost: The Search for Six of the Six Million", covered the same subjects, but with a different orientation.Mendelsohn writes about a year in which he both taught a class at Bard College on "The Odyssey" and took a Greek island cruise which traces Odysseus's 20 year journey. Although his seminar at Bard was for college students, he asked his early 80's father, Jay, to attend the seminar and to take the cruise with him. Daniel had been at odds with his father for years; Jay was famously a brilliant and taciturn man, married to his wife for over 60 years and was the father of five children. Daniel had long tried to understand his father and felt that Jay, with a long interest in the classics and Greek, might benefit from studying that father-son (and grandfather) epic, "The Odyssey" together.Many people have written memoirs about their parents. Most never quite make that final leap to understanding their father's actions, their mother's thoughts. As children we might know what our parents have done, but we usually don't know what they feel. Daniel Mendelsohn intersperses what happened in the family's past with passages from "The Odyssey". How Odysseus felt after not seeing his home, his wife, his father, and his son for twenty years can't exactly be paired with a man's life two thousand years later, but just the working through the passages of the epic with his father helped bring the two closer and helps Daniel understand - a bit - about his father.I am not a classicist. I've never read any of the epic poems Daniel Mendelsohn writes about in "An Odyssey",in English, let alone in the original Greek. I enjoyed his previous book, "The Six" better, but then I am an armchair historian and have read a lot about the Holocaust. So, I was a bit in uncharted waters when I began reading "An Odyssey". But I had enjoyed Mendelsohn's references to classical studies in "The Six" - yes, he managed to combine personal history and the classics in that book, as well - and so I looked forward to reading his new book. I'd say I understood most of it but thoroughly enjoyed it.
