Jain is the author of the book Injury, a political analysis of the history of injury law in the United States. Jain's second book, Malignant: How Cancer Becomes Us offers an analysis of cancer as an all-encompassing aspect of American culture. It was described in Nature Magazine as being "brilliant and disturbing" and was widely reviewed. Jain developed the concept of "living in prognosis" to name and better understand the role of statistics in constituting the paradoxes of living with and in cancer. Malignant was awarded numerous prizes, including the Victor Turner Prize for Ethnographic Writing, The Staley Prize, The June Roth Prize for medical writing, the Edelstein Prize, the Diana Forsythe Prize. Jain's third book, Things that Art: A Graphic Menagerie of Enchanting Curiosity, deconstructs the work done by categories through a series of drawings and essays. Books
