Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green

About the Book

Everything Is Tuberculosis is a work of narrative nonfiction from #1 bestselling author John Green, telling the story of tuberculosis, humanity's deadliest infectious disease, through the eyes of one remarkable young patient. In 2019, while visiting a hospital in Sierra Leone, Green met Henry, a boy with a big, goofy smile who happened to share his own son's name. What Green assumed was a routine hospital visit turned into a friendship, and what began as one boy's fight against a curable disease grew into a much larger reckoning with why tuberculosis, despite being preventable and treatable, still kills over a million people every year.

Weaving Henry's personal story together with centuries of scientific and social history, Green traces how tuberculosis has shaped art, literature, medicine, and public health, from its romanticized image as a disease of poets and artists to its far grimmer reality today as a disease of poverty, inequality, and political neglect. He shows, with sharp reporting and deeply emotional storytelling, that the persistence of TB in the modern world has far less to do with any lack of medical knowledge than with the human choices, systemic inequities, and corporate and political failures that keep lifesaving treatment out of reach for the people who need it most. Blending memoir, history, and advocacy, Green delivers a book that is by turns devastating, witty, and quietly hopeful, making the case that ending tuberculosis for good is well within our power, if we choose to act.
