Outcast: In Search of Leprosy, a Misunderstood Disease is a compelling work of narrative non-fiction that explores the history of leprosy (Hansen's disease) and the profound social stigma that has surrounded it for centuries.To understand the disease beyond myths and misconceptions, journalist Oliver Basciano travels to some of the world's most remote communities, including the last leprosarium in Europe, villages in Mozambique, settlements in Siberia, and the hinterlands of Brazil. Through conversations with patients, doctors, historians, and local communities, he reveals the human stories behind a disease that has long been associated with fear, isolation, and exclusion.

Blending history, travel writing, and investigative journalism, the book examines how societies have treated those affected by leprosy and asks broader questions about prejudice, marginalization, and what it means to be considered an outsider. It also highlights advances in modern medicine that have transformed leprosy into a curable disease, while showing how social stigma often persists long after medical understanding has changed.
