Book Review of Typhoid Mary : An Urban Historical

Typhoid Mary : An Urban Historical
Dargent avatar reviewed on


The facts are correct. Bourdain's writing style lets the social history down by being either too curt or too windy.
I recommend reading the Wikipedia article, or probably any other online site about Mary, for the same information. There were just too many large gaps in the social history of that time Bourdain could have made good use of for a more interesting read.
