John Green: “My favorite novel of the year was Rebecca Makkai's I Have Some Questions for You, which is crimey and podcasty, but also just brilliant. Rebecca Makkai writes some of the best sentences around and it's very rare that I read a work of fiction and turn to Sarah and say, "Why can't I write like this?" but several times while reading this book I turned to Sarah and said, "Why can't I write like this?" My favorite tuberculosis book of the year, and yes I have a favorite tuberculosis book of the year, is The Black Angels by Maria Smilios.”
