ELUSIVE EMBRACE, THE(ISBN=9780375706974) 英文原版 pdf pdb 阿里云 极速 mobi caj kindle 下载

　　Hailed for its searing emotional insights, and for the

astonishing originality with which it weaves together personal

history, cultural essay, and readings of classical texts by

Sophocles, Ovid, Euripides, and Sappho, The Elusive Embrace is a

profound exploration of the mysteries of identity. It is also

a meditation in which the author uses his own divided life to

investigate the "rich conflictedness of things," the double lives

all of us lead.

Daniel Mendelsohn recalls the deceptively quiet suburb where he

grew up, torn between his mathematician father's pursuit of

scientific truth and the exquisite lies spun by his Orthodox Jewish

grandfather; the streets of manhattan's newest "gay ghetto," where

"desire for love" competes with "love of desire;" and the quiet

moonlit house where a close friend's small son teaches him the

meaning of fatherhood. And, finally, in a neglected Jewish

cemetery, the author uncovers a family secret that reveals

the universal need for storytelling, for inventing myths of the

self. The book that Hilton Als calls "equal to Whitman's

'Song of Myself,'" The Elusive Embrace marks a dazzling literary

debut.
