Everything is Tuberculosis: This History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

by John Green

YA author John Green takes a turn toward nonfiction in this congenial history of the world’s oldest contagious disease. Green weaves a young TB patient's moving story of illness and recovery together with a social history of the disease, explaining that tuberculosis once killed rich and poor indiscriminately, but after the late-19th-century advent of germ theory, it became a “disease of the poor and marginalized.”

Deep Cuts: A Novel

by Holly Brickley

College student Percy Marks is not your average music fan. She can wax poetic for hours on the meaning behind a single lyric, and often does. One night at the local bar, she launches into a discussion with the guy sitting next to her about a Hall and Oates song, completely expecting the usual reaction—slight interest, quickly turning to boredom. This time is different, though.

Kamau Bell, one of the writers drawn into this Washington Post project to explore the federal workforce and the things its members do in their daily labors.
