Typhoid Mary

Typhoid Mary

by Anthony Bourdain

Bloomsbury USA · 2024 · 160 pages

Before germ theory was widely understood, one asymptomatic carrier brought typhoid fever to New York's kitchens and homes. Anthony Bourdain traces the chilling path of Mary Mallon, the woman history would dub Typhoid Mary, whose culinary skills unwittingly became a deadly weapon. This is a gripping look at a forgotten epidemic and the complex figure at its center, perfect for fans of historical true crime and Bourdain's unflinching explorations of the city's underbelly.
