| 520 | |a A writer and a practicing comedian, Deb's stage material highlighting his South Asian culture only served to mask the insecurities borne from his family history. His parents, both Indian, were brought together in a volatile and ultimately doomed arranged marriage and raised a family in suburban New Jersey before his father returned to India alone. Coming of age in a mostly white suburban town led him to seek separation from his family and his culture. Deb's experiences as one of the few minorities covering the Trump campaign, and as a stand up comedian, propelled him on a dramatic journey to India to see his father-- the first step in a life altering journey to bridge the emotional distance separating him from those whose DNA he shared. -- adapted from jacket | ||
