Join us for our new nonfiction book club True Story! Our first pick is Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green.
Instant #1 New York Times bestseller - #1 Washington Post bestseller - #1 Indie Bestseller - USA Today Bestseller
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, killing over a million people every year despite being preventable and curable. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells the story of Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient in Sierra Leone, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how this disease has shaped our world.
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 and the educational channel Crash Course.
True Story meets on the second Tuesday of every month at 7 pm at Friendly City Books. See you there!
