哪一面才算真正的自己?
《奥德赛》如此设问,且一个人可能有几重面貌呢?
那一年,父亲旁听我的《奥德赛》研读课,之后我们跟随奥德修斯的脚步巡游观光。
由此我明白,答案可能出人意料。

门德尔松81岁的数学家父亲去旁听儿子给本科生开设的《奥德赛》研读课,细读关于“漂泊与回家”的12110行史诗,之后父子二人又一起参加《奥德赛》主题游轮旅行。在文本与空间的“奥德赛之旅”中,他得以一次又一次重新理解父亲。
《奥德赛》是英雄漂泊多年,历尽千辛万苦得以归乡的故事;也是稚子长大成人,在寻父过程中逐渐了解父亲的故事。
《与父亲的奥德赛》则将《奥德赛》中古希腊英雄父子的传奇史诗与当代父子的普通人生并置,在文本与现实的交叠中,两对父子相互映照。
时空交错的回旋里,父、子与史诗的故事缓缓展开。

An Odyssey [图书] 豆瓣
9.2 (5 个评分) 作者: Daniel Mendelsohn Knopf 2017 - 9
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.
Three Rings: A Tale of Exile, Narrative, and Fate [图书] 豆瓣
作者: Daniel Mendelsohn University of Virginia Press 2020 - 9
In this "astounding Borgesian document of clarity and brilliance" (Sebastian Barry), best-selling memoirist and critic Daniel Mendelsohn pushes against the boundaries of genre as he explores the mysterious links between the randomness of the lives we lead and the artfulness of the stories we tell.
Combining memoir, biography, fiction, history, and literary criticism, Three Rings weaves together the stories of three exiled writers who turned to the classics of the past to create masterpieces of their own―works that pondered the nature of narrative itself. Erich Auerbach, the Jewish philologist who fled Hitler’s Germany and wrote his classic study of Western literature, Mimesis, in Istanbul…François Fénelon, the 17th century French archbishop whose ingenious sequel to the Odyssey, The Adventures of Telemachus―a veiled critique of the Sun King and the bestselling book in Europe for a hundred years―resulted in his banishment…and the German novelist W. G. Sebald, self-exiled to England, whose distinctively meandering narratives explore odyssean themes of displacement, nostalgia, and separation from home.
Intertwined with these tales of exile and artistic crisis is an account of Mendelsohn’s struggles to write two of his own books―a family saga of the Holocaust and a memoir about reading the Odyssey with his elderly father―that are haunted by tales of oppression and wandering. As Three Rings moves to its startling conclusion, a climactic revelation about the way in which the lives of its three heroes were linked across borders, languages, and centuries forces the reader to reconsider the relationship between narrative and history, art and life.
