Books by John Green mentioned on podcasts
John Green's literary career, spanning young adult fiction, adult debuts, and nonfiction, was featured prominently on People I (Mostly) Admire and The Book Review. On People I (Mostly) Admire, host Steve Levitt engaged John Green in retrospective discussions about his debut novel, 'Looking for Alaska', and the massive cultural phenomenon that 'The Fault in Our Stars' became after starting out as a young adult novel about a girl living with cancer. Green shared a humorous drafting story about the latter involving the trolley problem and his fictional Dutch author. Steve Levitt and John Green also delved into Green's work on his later book, 'Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection', discussing how a previous podcast conversation influenced Green to halt a novel in progress and dedicate himself instead to chronicling humanity's deadliest disease. Additionally, MJ Franklin previewed Green's adult fiction debut, 'Hollywood, Ending', on The Book Review, noting the exciting shift from his celebrated history of writing acclaimed young adult fiction.
