John Green, the #1 bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed and a passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world’s deadliest infectious disease.
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.
John Green is the award-winning, #1 bestselling author of books including Looking for Alaska, The Fault in Our Stars, Turtles All the Way Down, and The Anthropocene Reviewed. With his brother, Hank, John has co-created many online video projects, including Vlogbrothers, the educational channel Crash Course and an annual livestreamed fundraiser called the Project for Awesome (P4A). John serves on the Board of Trustees for global health nonprofit Partners in Health and, in partnership with PiH and the Nerdfighter community around Vlogbrothers video, has raised over $30 million dollars to tackle maternal mortality in Sierra Leone. In 2023, John spoke at the United Nations calling for the eradication of tuberculosis cases in the next decade.
John lives with his family in Indianapolis, Indiana. You can visit him online at johngreenbooks.com and find out more about the fight against tuberculosis at tbfighters.org.
