Mountains Beyond Mountains
by Tracy Kidder
Inspiring, world changing, and...overlong? Paul Farmer is a saint, but I almost feel ashamed to say that I don't like him. Kidder's portrayal of him in this biography isn't always flattering, and I still can't figure out if Kidder himself liked Farmer. Farmer's easy to admire and praise, but still he's abrasive. I was sometimes more interested in hearing about his colleague, Dr. Kim (what with that karaoke bit in Russia and all). Overall, this book is a breathtaking look at public health around the world and Farmer's revolutionary approach to it. Amazing and jaw-dropping, but biographies aren't really my genre.
