Local author Deborah Kalb will discuss her new novel, Off to Join the Circus, about an overly enmeshed Jewish family in the D.C. suburbs, and what happens when a relative returns after 64 years. Adele ran away from home in West Orange, New Jersey, as a teenager in 1954. The story starts in 2018, when her younger brother, Howard, is celebrating his 75th birthday with his family.
DEBORAH KALB is the author of the novel Off to Join the Circus, her debut novel for adults. She has written fiction for kids and nonfiction for adults, and she’s the host of the blog Book Q&As with Deborah Kalb, where she interviews an eclectic range of authors. A former long-time D.C.-based journalist covering Congress and politics, she lives in the Washington, D.C. area.
