A BOYFRIEND had been prescribed by a psychologist we consulted after my father’s first few months on the couch.

“There is a pattern,” Aunt Masha told my mother shortly before that. “They lose their jobs, then they take to spending their days on the couch, and then a woman turns up. How? When? you ask yourself. He barely even left the couch!”

It was my uncle Boris who’d first suggested the idea of emigrating. “A scientist of Mikhail’s stature will never be properly appreciated in Russia,” he said.

I wanted to ask if Cousin Violetta had learned how to ski. The last I heard about her was that she had moved to Aspen and was living with a ski instructor. “The snow in Aspen is as soft as a feather bed and as sweet as cotton candy,” she wrote me once. She hadn’t written or answered my calls since then.
