In fact, with the aid of a walker, Mummy strides up and down the halls in her care center — sometimes for hours.

When she is walking the halls, Mummy often appears to have a purpose and a destination in mind. Up close, it is immediately apparent Mummy is locked into a prison from which there is no parole.

By that point, I had marinated for such a long time in the Bronx, I became convinced I was black – and no one could tell me different. Opening the door to homeroom class, I make my quasi-grand entrance sporting a mauve nightclub shirt adorned with shimmering streaks of silver sparkles, gray-colored dress slacks speckled with black dots – bearing more than a passing resemblance to a Dust Bowl tornado – and a brand new pair of Air Jordans, still holding out hope it was the sneakers that were the problem. The only stipulation is that the new name must begin with the letter “F.” “I bought a gold chain with an ‘F’ and I’m not returning it! (You weren’t a real man in our family unless you wore an identifying chain.) We throw a bunch of Irish “F” names in a hat because, as my mother says, the Irish are, for the most part, better liked than the Jews. In actuality, it wasn’t invisibility I was seeking, but rather, notoriety on my own terms.

In what proves to be a futile effort to rebrand myself, I take to wearing a necklace touting my name in cursive gold letters: “Allan.” But as word spreads of my appearance, I once again gain infamy as “Fucks,” the biggest dork anyone has ever seen. * * * y the time I was 16 my parents had been able to thoroughly test their hypothesis and reach the conclusion that kids all across the country, hailing from every income level, race, and religion, will verbally abuse you if your last name is Fuks. She also felt that with our pale skin, most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Between my unchecked body dysmorphia, low self-esteem, and a paralyzing depression that had taken root in my college years, unbinding myself would prove a lifelong challenge. Getting onstage and exposing my demons granted me the opportunity to take this challenge head on, and enabled me to finally discuss the more painful aspects of my life, including my divorce, the death of a beloved friend, and the mistakes I’ve made that have cost me some of my most treasured relationships – none of which were at all based on my last name.

They must have figured: “These people will be living in the South Bronx. Californians aren’t nearly as laid back as you’d imagine. Failing to gain a foothold due to the unemployment crisis, my parents resettled in the Bronx within a year, and we stayed put until I turned 13, when they were able to scrounge up enough money for a down payment on a modest cape, landing us in the predominantly white, status-chasing, middle-to-upper-middle-class Northern New Jersey suburb of Fair Lawn. The trauma cuts so deep that I’m on the verge of tears when I’ve gone my entire first day on campus without hearing a single derisive comment.

This is far from the first time something like this has happened to me. Our apartment was on the 13th floor, which developers are known to avoid numbering as such for fear of bad luck. Eventually, I fall to the concrete floor, pick myself up, and launch into a race for safety behind our playground monitor. No one knows of my former last name outside of a few Fair Lawners, and no one cares.
