Daniel Mendelsohn reads from and discusses his highly acclaimed book Lost: The Search for Six of Six Million. Mendelsohn’s articles, essays, reviews and translations have appeared frequently in numerous national publications, including The New Yorker, The New York Times, New York , The New York Review of Books, The Nation, Esquire, and The Paris Review. From 2000 until 2002, he was the weekly book critic for New York magazine, for which he won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Excellence in Criticism in 2001. His work has been widely anthologized in collections including "The Best American Travel Writing," "The Mrs. Dalloway Reader," "Quick Studies: The Best of Lingua Franca," and—for “Republicans Can Be Cured!”, his satirical New York Times Op-Ed piece about the discovery of a gene for political conservatism— "Best American Humor." His 1999 memoir of sexual identity and family history, "The Elusive Embrace: Desire and the Riddle of Identity" (Knopf, 1999; Vintage, 2000) was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and a Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year. His scholarly study of Greek tragedy, "Gender and the City in Euripides’ Political Plays," was published in October 2002 by Oxford University Press, and appeared in February, 2005 in paperback. His current book projects include a short life of Archimedes and a new translation of the complete works of the modern Greek poet C. P. Cavafy.
