Everything Is Tuberculosis The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
John Green, acclaimed author and passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the worldās deadliest infectious disease. Signed edition
āThe real magic of Greenās writing is the deeply considerate, human touch that goes into every word.ā āThe Associated Press
ā³Told with the intelligence, wit, and tragedy that have become hallmarks of the authorās work.... This is the story of us.ā āSlate
āEarnest and empathetic.ā āThe New York Times
Tuberculosis has been entwined with huĀmanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.
In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John beĀcame fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequiĀties that allow this curable, preventable infecĀtious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year.
In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henryās story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our worldāand how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.
