520    Can trauma be inherited? It is this question that sets 
       Alex Halberstadt off on a quest to name and acknowledge a 
       legacy of family trauma, and to end a century-old cycle of
       estrangement. His search takes him across the troubled, 
       enigmatic land of his birth. In Ukraine he tracks down his
       paternal grandfather--most likely the last living 
       bodyguard of Joseph Stalin--to reckon with the ways in 
       which decades of Soviet totalitarianism shaped three 
       generations of his family. He visits Lithuania, his Jewish
       mother's home, to examine the legacy of the Holocaust and 
       pernicious anti-Semitism that remains largely unaccounted 
       for. And he returns to his birthplace, Moscow, where his 
       glamorous grandmother designed homespun couture for Soviet
       ministers' wives, his mother consoled dissidents at a 
       psychiatric hospital, and his father made a dangerous 
       living dealing in black-market American records. Along the
       way, Halberstadt traces the fragile and indistinct 
       boundary between history and biography. Finally, he 
       explores his own story: that of an immigrant who arrived 
       in America, to a housing project in Queens, New York. A 
       now fatherless ten-year-old boy struggling with identity, 
       rootlessness, and a yearning for home, he became another 
       in a line of sons who grew up separated from their fathers
       by the tides of politics and history. As Halberstadt 
       revisits the sites of his family's formative traumas, he 
       uncovers a multigenerational transmission of fear, 
       suspicion, melancholy, and rage. And he comes to realize 
       something more: Nations, like people, possess formative 
       traumas that penetrate into the most private recesses of 
       their citizens' lives.
