520    "In February 2015, Ivan Maisel received a call that would 
       alter his life forever: his son Max's car was found 
       abandoned in a parking next to Lake Ontario. Two months 
       later, Max's body would be found in the lake. I Keep 
       Trying to Catch His Eye is the story of Maisel's love for 
       a son who was so different from him, but who he loved so 
       deeply, and how he came to learn that grief for Max was 
       nothing more than a last, ultimate expression of love. 
       Navigating the moments of their complicated relationship, 
       as well as their love for each other, Maisel explores the 
       bridges he tried to build to his son and the grief that 
       engulfed him and his family after Max's death by suicide. 
       Taking its title from Max's love of photography--and his 
       tendency to only love the camera when he was behind it, 
       looking away whenever his picture was taken--I Keep Trying
       to Catch His Eye delves into the tragically transformative
       reality of losing a child, all with grace, depth, and 
       refinement. But by humanizing Max and humanizing his grief,
       Maisel evokes understanding instead of sorrow, 
       appreciation instead of anxiety--and love instead of fear"
