Abstract:
"This volume including eight essays and an interview offers new insight into Daniel Mendelsohn's first three memoirs (The Elusive Embrace, The Lost, and An Odyssey). The authors analyze how Mendelsohn's nonfiction brilliantly intertwines self-writing with reflections on ancient myths and their continued impact on self-reflection and representation"--
