after reading this, it truly feels like everything is, in fact, tuberculosis.
john green is an author who i've been reading for several years now (in my early teen years the amount of times i read Looking For Alaska and Paper Towns was absolutely unreal), but i haven't read his nonfiction before and am excited to report that this book is incredibly good :) it covers an incredible amount in 198 pages, including: discussion of tuberculosis both in the modern day and historically, the country of Sierra Leone's history, discussion of how racism and classism (among other factors) affect who can get medical care, the work of TB activists, and the story of a Sierra Leonean man named Henry who John Green knows. extremely informative, would highly recommend
