The Baltimore Waltz by Paula Vogel
Anna, a school teacher in Baltimore, discovers she has a new deadly disease called ATD, or Acquired Toilets Disease. In pursuit of a cure, she grabs her brother, Carl, and the two go on a madcap adventure through Europe in which nothing is ever what it seems. Drawing on Vogel’s own personal experience during the AIDS epidemic, The Baltimore Waltz is a sensitive and imaginative mediation on sibling connection and grief.
