USA Today Bestseller! 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 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.
