Mr B's review

Tuberculosis has killed one in every seven people who have ever lived. It’s famed with spawning the genius of the Romantic poets, and sparking the beauty standards of the Western world. But this is no illness of the past: since finding the cure in 1950 a staggering 150 million people have died from the disease.  Lottie says: “From the genius writer of The Fault in Our Stars comes a remarkable tale of medicine, culture, art, and humanity that I will never forget.”

‘Earnest and empathetic.’ – 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.
