Summer Book Club: Everything Is Tuberculosis
Log in to view event links.
Summer book club is back! This summer we will be reading the instant #1 New York Times bestseller, Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green.
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.
Please join us on August 27th at 3:00 pm ET for the HRA Summer Book Club! Book club discussions are friendly, informal, and fun. We look forward to hearing your questions, comments, and insights about Everything Is Tuberculosis!
