Hailed for its searing emotional insights, and for the astonishing originality with which it weaves together personal history, cultural essay, and readings of classical texts by Sophocles, Ovid, Euripides, and Sappho, The Elusive Embrace is a profound exploration of the mysteries of identity.It is also a meditation in which the author uses his own divided life to investigate the "rich conflictedness of things," the double lives all of us lead.
Daniel Mendelsohn recalls the deceptively quiet suburb where he grew up, torn between his mathematician father's pursuit of scientific truth and the exquisite lies spun by his Orthodox Jewish grandfather; the streets of manhattan's newest "gay ghetto," where "desire for love" competes with "love of desire;" and the quiet moonlit house where a close friend's small son teaches him the meaning of fatherhood.And, finally, in a neglected Jewish cemetery, the author uncovers afamily secret that reveals the universal need for storytelling, for inventing myths of the self.The book that Hilton Als calls "equal to Whitman's 'Song of Myself,'" The Elusive Embrace marks a dazzling literary debut.

门德尔松从自己的名字里解出一条古希腊语法结构，论此境他方，现下彼时，主语宾语，在凝视与被凝视、欲望与被渴求间探索不定形态的身份认同。读前几章心下有些许矛盾，觉得似乎他写别人的故事更有意思，兴许因为人在直面自己时极难做到全然真诚，尤其当你知晓此番直面必将置于他者目光之下，往往会生出一股「合理化」经历行为的冲动。但这没有必要。不过往下读渐入佳境，最后两章塑造金身（家族神话）再打破、为身份认同探索写下注解，作家拿手好戏是也，蛮好看！
