This month, our reading club for adults will read Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection by John Green.
“After Green met a very sick boy named Henry Reider on a trip to Sierra Leone in 2019, he decided to apply himself to the task of learning and sharing every single thing there is to know about tuberculosis, ultimately understanding that the disease still exists due to racism, greed, and the brutal economics of public health” (Kirkus review.)
Borrow a copy to read ahead of time and come talk about it on Friday, September 18 at 11:00 AM.
To add to our reading and learning experience, an expert in infectious diseases, Dr. Marc Mendelson, Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Cape Town, will join us virtually from South Africa to answer our questions!
