Born in Queens, New York, TODD DIAMOND delivers narratives that are unapologetically raw and darkly humorous?a reflection of the borough that raised him. Whether it's sordid tales from his advertising career or stories about his family's Holocaust experiences, he resonates with those who prefer their prose served with a healthy dose of cynicism and unsweetened insight.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR'S STATE OF MIND In 2015, a research team at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital published a paper titled, ?Holocaust Exposure Induced Intergenerational Effects on FKBP5 Methylation.? Their conclusion? ?Genetic changes stemming from the trauma suffered by Holocaust survivors are capable of being passed on to their children, the clearest sign yet that one person's life experience can affect subsequent generations.? Huh. Genetically Inherited Holocaust Trauma.
Well, I'll be damned. Doesn't that explain a few things?
