Bucky's Book of the Month


This month I’ll be reading Typhoid Mary by Anthony Bourdain (yes, that Anthony Bourdain, star of No Reservations (Travel Channel) and former executive chef of Brasserie Les Halles.) Typhoid Mary is a historical novel about Mary Mallon, infamous public health bad girl and first identified healthy typhoid carrier. Throughout her career as a cook, Mallon infected 53 people and died in state-ordered quarantine. Tune in later this month for the book review.
