And then to leave it all behind you in decency.” Eurotrash is a novel about epigenetic angst — the guilt and shame of knowing what’s been inherited from family, and all of the ways we try to deny it. It’s a story told through the relationship and travels of a mother and son, the latter deeply affected by his angst. Often funny, but especially touching, I enjoyed how he comes to peace by better understanding his mother.  Translated by Daniel Bowles.
