Tracy Kidder has been described as "master of the non-fiction narrative." His writing has earned him the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award and the Robert F. Kennedy Award. Mountains Beyond Mountains is the true story of Dr. Paul Farmer, Harvard professor, anthropologist, infectious-disease expert, and recipient of the MacArthur "genius" grant, who wants to cure the world. Ethan Canin calls it "a profoundly inspiring and important book about one of the truly great men of our time."
