Winona State University will host “An Evening With: John Green” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, in Harriet Johnson Auditorium, Somsen Hall, as part of the Duran Family Speaker Series.
The event will include a presentation on Green’s book “Everything Is Tuberculosis,” followed by a moderated conversation and audience Q&A. A book signing for “Everything Is Tuberculosis” will be held following the Q&A (ticket holders only). No other memorabilia or books will be signed during the event.
John Green is the author of several #1 New York Times bestsellers, including “The Fault in Our Stars,” “Looking for Alaska,” and “Paper Towns.” His work has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 55 languages. In addition to his literary achievements, Green is the co-creator of the educational YouTube channel “Crash Course,” which has garnered over 10.7 million subscribers and 1.2 billion views.
Green’s latest book, “Everything is Tuberculosis,” is an instant #1 New York Times, Washington Post, and Indie bestseller. Regarded as a timely and “highly readable call to action” in a starred Kirkus review, the book is a deeply human social and scientific history in which Green illuminates the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, treatable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing 1.5 million people every year.

“An Evening With: John Green” is sponsored by the Duran Family Speaker Series and is made possible through a generous gift by Denis Duran, a 1970 graduate of Winona State.
“I was lucky to attend Winona State and appreciate the opportunity it presented me,” said Duran. “My endowment of the Duran Family Speaker Series is one more way for me to give back to Winona State University and to the surrounding communities.”
Established in 1989 as the Lyceum Series, the Duran Family Speaker Series aims to provide enriching cultural and educational opportunities that benefit the university and the communities of Winona and Rochester. The series brings in recognized speakers from the arts, humanities, sciences, business, education, health and human services, and other relevant areas to engage, inform and inspire students, employees and members of the area communities. Additional funding for the Duran Family Speaker Series is provided by the Winona State University Foundation and Student Life fees.
