Title: Different Perpective
Review: Anthony Bourdain tells this story from a perspective I had never considered in all the times I have read or seen something about Mary Mallon. She was a cook. I had never thought about how much of her identity would be built on that. I had never thought about how "cooks don't get sick" - especially in a time where sick days were unheard of.Mary Mallon didn't feel sick, didn't recall ever having typhoid, and lived when disease prevention was just begining.Bourdain tells her story from a cook's point of view. He is sympathetic but doesn't make excuses.Personally, I quite enjoy his writing style and found this to be a quick, intelligent read that made me reassess my opinion on Typhoid Mary.
