John Green
John Green, acclaimed author and passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world´s deadliest infectious disease. Signed edition "The real magic of Green´s writing is the deeply considerate, human touch that goes into every word." -The Associated Press ″Told with the intelligence, wit, and tragedy that have become hallmarks of the author´s work.... This is the story of us." -Slate "Earnest and empathetic." -The New York Times Tuberculosis has been entwined with hu-manity 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 be-came 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 inequi-ties that allow this curable, preventable infec-tious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry´s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world-and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.
