DESCRIPTION:This program has been rescheduled from February 24.Please join
  us as Caryn Friedman-Quinn leads a discussion of Daniel Mendelsohn’s An
  Odyssey: A Father, A Son, and An Epic. Several years before the release o
 f his highly acclaimed translation of Homer’s Odyssey, Daniel Mendelsohn
  wrote a sort of memoir titled An Odyssey which recounts the literary and
  interpersonal journey of Mendelsohn and his father with Homer’s great e
 pic as the backdrop. At age 81, Jay Mendelsohn, a retired research scienti
 st and Daniel’s father, decides to take his son’s undergraduate semina
 r on Homer’s Odyssey. Following months of sometime contentious discussio
 ns in the classroom, the two then embark on a Mediterranean voyage followi
 ng those of the famed Odysseus. Needless to say, they both learn a lot abo
 ut themselves and each other. Kirkus said in its review that this is “a 
 well-told story that underscores the power of storytelling…Revelations f
 or Mendelsohn provide epiphanies for readers as well.”This group meets o
 n the 4th Tuesday of each month from September through May, excluding Dece
 mber. Call the Senior Center for details and to register at 203-834-6240.
