When eighty-one-year-old Jay Mendelsohn decides to enroll in the undergraduate Odyssey seminar his son teaches at Bard College, the two find themselves on an adventure as profoundly emotional as it is intellectual. For Jay, a retired research scientist who sees the world through a mathematician's unforgiving eyes, this return to the classroom is his "one last chance" to learn the great literature he'd neglected in his youth--and, even more, a final opportunity to more fully understand his son, a writer and classicist. But through the sometimes uncomfortable months that the two men explore Homer's great work together--first in the classroom, where Jay persistently challenges his son's interpretations, and then during a surprise-filled Mediterranean journey retracing Odysseus's famous voyages--it becomes clear that Daniel has much to learn, too: Jay's responses to both the text and the travels gradually uncover long-buried secrets that allow the son to understand his difficult father at last. As this intricately woven memoir builds to its wrenching climax, Mendelsohn's narrative comes to echo the Odyssey itself, with its timeless themes of deception and recognition, marriage and children, the pleasures of travel and the meaning of home. Rich with literary and emotional insight, An Odyssey is a renowned author-scholar's most triumphant entwining yet of personal narrative and literary exploration.

年初读完，过了这么久依然觉得是今年读过最喜欢的书。
评分越读越喜欢、越读越感动的书。作者把父子两代人的成长嵌入史诗经典来体会，文本所凝结的古老智慧与真实人生当下困境相互映射，无论是对于细读经典还是对于过好人生都有启发。书的写法很独特，读书、旅行、追忆有序交织，从文本、空间、时间上求取父子关系的真义，殊途同归。“the door is the bed”隐喻催人泪下，实在是妙笔。
评分今年最爱的书，就是你了。
评分年初读完，过了这么久依然觉得是今年读过最喜欢的书。
评分贵族文学时代望之弥高的作品，与20世纪平民化的人生并置、交错，会构成怎样的对衬关系？古典如何烛照现实？门德尔松一次次以自己的作品回答。从The Elusive Embrace, 到The Lost，到An Odyssey，三本自传性的叙述，构成文学vs.人生的纪实三部曲。其回旋往复的叙事，乍看偶似啰嗦，一旦被吸引便在读者心上萦绕不已。初次听完这本父子之书的朗读版，是在我为家父弥留而奔波的日子里，街上车上的噪音和现象让人分心。现在细读始觉一环环都丝丝入扣，感同身受。西与东、古典与当代之不隔，可由门德尔松作品得证。
