Book Overview

Instant #1 New York Times bestseller! - #1 Washington Post bestseller! - #1 Indie Bestseller! - USA Today Bestseller!

John Green, award-winning author and passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world's deadliest infectious disease.

"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 humanity 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 became 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 inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious 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.
