he is kind of mid as a novel writer, but he excels of finding meaning and poetry and humanity in life. and he has (!) written other non-fiction: the antropocene reviewed of eponymous podcast fame (which had me quietly singing along and half-crying in public in the first weeks of the pandemic)
Yes! Seconded! If you liked this I really recommend the Anthropocene Reviewed—I also wasn’t the biggest fan of Green’s fiction but recently binged his nonfiction… I’m now convinced the man is genius of our time 😭😭
oh! thank you to both of you, i will check it out :)
read Anthropocene in review!! it’s so good!!!
i might check out cus his fiction never really worked for me but now im curious
The Anthropocene Reviewed eats... anyways does everything tuberculosis have stories in it? I thought it talks about the disease and facts about it

hmm, it's not like Antropocene Reviewed where he talks about many different things and he does basically follow a historic timeline of the disease throughout the book but it features a teenager named Henry, who has tubercolisis and who John met sometime in 2019 or something and intermittently there's a lot about him and his life and feelings. also john does stray a bit sometimes and also talks about himself a lot so... kinda?
This is interesting cause I loved his YA books but I'm not really into non-fiction. So even though I've had this book and Anthropocene Reviewed on my tbr, I keep avoiding them. Maybe it's time for me to give it a shot :)
