"Elizabeth Pisani is an epidemiologist—someone studying the origin and trajectory of diseases. She's also a journalist and an exceptionally good storyteller who has spent the bulk of her professional life in Southeast Asia, researching the spread of HIV and AIDS among those engaged in the sex trade in Asia, gay and straight. Her book, "The Wisdom of Whores: Bureaucrats, Brothels and the Business of AIDS" is, more than a report, a funny and deeply personal memoir, written to spur the average reader into emotion and action."
