Carousel by VANITY FAIR
VANITY FAIR@vanityfair If John Green’s younger self could see him now—as a writer popular enough to make a nonfiction book about tuberculosis into a no. 1 New York Times bestseller; an internet personality with more than 10.5 million followers across platforms; an executive producer of multiple projects adapted from his own books—“he’d be delighted.” If the Green of 2026 could talk to that younger self, he’d tell him to be careful what he wished for. At our link in bio, YA whisperer Green and Vanity Fair’s @hillibuster take to talk about ‘Hollywood, Ending,’ his first novel for adults; the realities of fame; and why J.K. Rowling bums him out: “Supporting her work now is directly supporting efforts at the erasure of trans people.” Photo: @ylracbutler
