Mendelsohn discusses the topic of each essay by first letting us know how beautiful it is, and then proceeds to tell us how each can be broken. There is a fatalism, a sadness laced in the essays. Still, I liked the book and, even though I have yet to see Brokeback Mountain, was genuinely moved by his comments on it. Daniel Mendelsohn must make a very interesting dinner guest.
