American infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci is anticipating two books about him to hit the shelves. Aside from the book deals, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is set to appear in a new Disney-produced documentary. Despite these deals, he has been criticized for profiting from the pandemic.
The NIAID director announced on June 1 that he will publish a book titled “Expect the Unexpected: Ten Lessons on Truth, Service and the Way Forward.” He added that the book will be released by National Geographic Books on Nov. 2. Both Amazon and Barnes & Noble have opened pre-orders for the 80-page book at $18 per copy. A NIAID spokesperson told the Daily Mail that Fauci will not be paid for the project.
“Expect the Unexpected” will draw from interviews of Fauci conducted during his more than three decades helming NIAID. An overview of the book describes it: “Those looking to live a more compassionate and purposeful life will find inspiration in his unique perspective on leadership, expecting the unexpected and finding joy in difficult times.”
While Fauci’s 80-page book is set for a later date, another book about him is set for release in late June of this year. The children’s picture book titled “Dr. Fauci: How a Boy from Brooklyn Became America’s Doctor” will be released on June 28. It draws upon interviews with the infectious disease doctor conducted by the author Kate Messner.
