Book Synopsis

In February 2015, Ivan Maisel received a call that would alter his life forever: his son Max''s car had been found abandoned in a parking next to Lake Ontario. Two months later, Max''s body would be found in the lake.

There''d been no note or obvious indication that Max wanted to harm himself; he''d signed up for a year-long subscription to a dating service; he''d spent the day he disappeared doing photography work for school. And this uncertainty became part of his father''s grief. I Keep Trying to Catch His Eye explores with grace, depth, and refinement the tragically transformative reality of losing a child. But it also tells the deeply human and deeply empathetic story of a father''s relationship with his son, of its complications, and of Max and Ivan''s struggle-as is the case for so many parents and their children-to connect.

I Keep Trying to Catch His Eye is a stunning, poignant exploration of the father and son relationship, of how our tendency t
