WINONA, Minn. — Indianapolis-based author John Green, whose idiosyncratic works have found a following, now 50 million in sales, will speak Thursday at Winona State University. His current work, “Everything Is Tuberculosis,” crusades for global awareness. He notes 1.5 million deaths a year. The disease, he says, has been misrepresented and demonized. His message: TB deserves a cure. The book has been reviewed as “a timely and highly readable call to action.” The Winona State event: 7 p.m. in Somsen auditorium. Tickets: By reservation at $25. Green’s break-out book, “The Fault in Our Stars,” in 2012, has been translated into 55 languages. His YouTube channel “Crash Course,” has 10.7 million subscribers.
Green. His academic background an intriguing mix that includes theology.
