 Gwinnett Reads
An Evening with New York Times Best Selling Author
Siddhartha Mukherjee,
the 2011 Pulitzer Prize winning author of
The Emperor of All Maladies
 
The New York Times recognized this year's Gwinnett Reads selection, The Emperor of All Maladies, as one of the "10 Best Books of 2010."
 
Mr. Mukherjee's cancer biography chronicles the history of cancer as well as delves into its origins, the advancement of diagnoses, and recent developments in the realm of this ferocious disease. Mukherjee beautifully weaves compassion for patients and their families along with the science and research of this complex and complicated sickness.
