Abstract
A book review in the New York Times of Daniel Mendelsohn's 2017 memoir entitled "An Odyssey: A Father, a Son, and an Epic." Mendelsohn, a Classics professor at Bard College, writes about his father enrolling in his undergraduate course on the "Odyssey." The review describes the book as comprising four genres: a classroom drama, travel writing (father and son take an "Odyssey" theme cruise together), a biographical memoir, and a work of literary criticism.
