| Ancestral Notes: a Family Dream Journal explores the question posed by all human beings of, "Who am I"? Zelda Leah Gatuskin neatly stitches the raveled pieces of one Jewish woman's genealogy as she puts together a dream library that reveals not only the secrets held within her own mind but those of dead ancestors who traveled the family road before her.
Her journey begins as she watches the Persian Gulf War unfold on the television, reminding her of the multiple attacks on the Jewish people throughout history -- people for whom the word "suffering" has become synonymous to, in describing their ancestral ties, and leading back to their own singular existence born from their tormented souls. Gatuskin becomes engulfed by the dreams, which begin flooding her psyche, of those who came before her and the hopes of those who will follow. The spirits, which reveal themselves to her in her dreams, tell tales of their existence that are sometimes filled with laughter and at other times with tears, all having a bearing on the life she must lead. Brilliantly Gatuskin untangles the tales and reveals them to the reader through odes and short stories portraying the heroism, laughter, and tears experienced by her elders. | |||
