of the greatest confusion of all.
One person with two names, why is one good and the other known as something else? It makes sense in the culture they are a part of but in this new country, to others, it doesn't make much sense. It struck me as odd that the principal or whoever he spoke to at the elementary school couldn't tell there was a significant difference between the two names. It seemed disrespectful on her part to indulge Gogol on using his pet name.
