Did Gogol ever make peace with his name in the novel, The Namesake?

In Chapter Twelve, Gogol's marriage ended after his wife revealed the affair she had been having. Moushumi has decided to return to Paris, the only place she has been truly happy. Gogol does the same, returning to his mother's home. There was once a time when Gogol would not have gone to his mother for peace, but Gogol has matured enough that he has discovered that his parents are not the enemy. Once home, Gogol finds the book his father gave him of Nikolai Gogol's stories. For the first time, Gogol begins to read it. This is symbolic of Gogol coming to terms with his name, with his identity. This also brings Gogol full circle and satisfies his struggle to find himself, though his newly discovered identity is not a clear-cut, one or the other choice. Gogol has found level footing somewhere between his family and the world where he lives, finding his identity in a place that satisfies both parts of himself.
