In this urgent and deeply personal nonfiction work, John Green explores the history and persistence of the world’s deadliest infectious disease. Woven around the story of Henry, a young patient Green met in Sierra Leone, the book traces how a curable illness continues to kill over a million people annually due to systemic poverty and healthcare inequity. Part medical history and part call to action, Green challenges the social and political choices that allow this millennia-old “malady of poets” to remain a modern-day catastrophe.
