Greek to Him: An Odyssey

Today we’re continuing our liberal arts segment with our presentation, Greek to Him: An Odyssey. According to Dwight Garner in the New York Times, Daniel Mendelsohn’s latest book is “a deeply moving tale of a father and son’s transformative journey in reading—and reliving—the Odyssey. Mr. Mendelsohn wears his learning lightly yet superbly. What catches you off guard about this memoir is how moving it is. It has many things to say not only about Homer’s epic poem, but about fathers and sons. This panel features Daniel Mendelsohn author and critic at the New York Review of Books and The New Yorker in conversation with Corby Kummer, Senior Editor at The Atlantic, restaurant critic, and author.
