USA Today Bestseller! 'Earnest and empathetic.' - 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.
