Product Information
A wondrous nonfiction debut from the cofounder of NPR's Invisibilia , Why Fish Don't Exist tells the story of a 19th-century scientist possessed with bringing order to the natural world -- a dark and astonishing tale that becomes an investigation into some of the biggest questions of our lives. When Lulu Miller was starting out as a science reporter, she encountered a story that would stick with her for a decade. It was the strange tale of a scientist named David Starr Jordan, who set out to discover as many of the world's fish as he could. Decade by decade, he built one of the most important specimen collections ever seen. Until the 1906 San Francisco earthquake hit--sending over a thousand of his fish, housed in fragile glass jars, plummeting to the floor. In an instant, his life's work was shattered. Miller knew what she would do if she were in Jordan's shoes. She would give up, give in to despair. But Jordan? He surveyed the wreckage at his feet, found the first fish he recognized, and painstakingly began to rebuild his collection. And this time, he introduced one clever innovation that, he believed, would protect it against the chaos of the world. In Why Fish Don't Exist , Miller digs into the passing anecdote she once heard about David Starr Jordan to tell his whole story. What was it that kept him going that day in 1906? What became of him? And who does he prove to be, in the end: a role model for how to thrive in a chaotic world, or a cautionary tale? Filled with suspense, surprise, and even a questionable death, this enchanting book interweaves science, biography, and a dash of memoir to investigate the age-old question of how to go on when everything seems lost.

Reviews
"I want to live at this book's address: the intersection of history and biology and wonder and failure and sheer human stubbornness. What a sumptuous, surprising, dark delight." -- Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties, " Why Fish Don't Exist is a book about losing love and finding it, a book about how faith sustains us and also how it grows toxic. It's a story told with an open-heart, every page of it animated by verve, nuance, and full-throated curiosity. I loved this book for its sense of wonder as well as its suspicion of that wonder--its belief that on the other side of interrogation there are even deeper, more specific enchantments waiting." -- Leslie Jamison, New York Times bestselling author of The Empathy Exams, " Why Fish Don't Exist is a book about the various kinds of chaos into which we can descend. It's a book about losing love and finding it, a book about how faith sustains us and also how it grows toxic. It's a story told with an open-heart, every page of it animated by verve, nuance, and full-throated curiosity. I loved this book for its sense of wonder as well as its suspicion of that wonder--its belief that on the other side of interrogation there are even deeper, more specific enchantments waiting." -- Leslie Jamison, New York Times bestselling author of The Empathy Exams, "The original, intricate illustrations... that accompany each chapter are captivating, with an otherworldly, even nightmarish quality. They lend the book an air of antiquity, as though the reader is holding a 19th-century science text or a Bible... Intriguing and illuminating." -- Washington Independent Review of Books, "Some years back, Lulu Miller disappeared down a very strange rabbit hole that led her to places neither she nor you would ever be able to anticipate. I highly recommend you follow her down the hole, because of her singular and gigantic gifts as a writer and storyteller, but also because of what's down there: love, chaos, strychnine, a gun, dangerous delusions, heroic dandelions, a cow, a snorkel mask through which grander truths are revealed... This book is perfect, just perfect. It's both lyrical and learned, personal and political, small and huge, quirky and profound." -- Mary Roach, New York Times bestselling author of Stiff, "NPR reporter Lulu Miller brings her own spark of personality to this story about the magnificent capacity to wonder at the natural world." -- Amazon Book Review, "With the intrigue of a murder mystery, this slim work is also a philosophical exposition on the human inclination to make order out of chaos." -- Library Journal, "Lulu Miller moves gracefully between reporting and meditation, big questions and small moments. This book is a magical hybrid of science, portraiture, and memoir -- and a delight to read." -- Susan Orlean, New York Times bestselling author of The Library Book, "A touching blend of biography, science, philosophy, and self-reflection. Like its provocative title, it is full of surprises." -- Jonathan Balcombe, New York Times bestselling author of What a Fish Knows, "A wild ride... that upends our idea of what fish (and we) are in the grand scheme of things." -- Slate, "Stunning and brilliant and completely un-sum-up-able... I love this book so much!" -- John Green, New York Times bestselling author of Turtles All the Way Down, "What a delightful book... Ms. Miller wields [ Radiolab 's] familiar format with panache, spinning a tale so seductive that I read her book in one sitting." -- The Wall Street Journal, "What a delightful book... Ms. Miller [spins] a tale so seductive that I read her book in one sitting." -- The Wall Street Journal, "An ingenious celebration of diversity and the mysterious order that underlies all existence. A quirky wonder of a book." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Riveting. Surprising. Shocking, even! Why Fish Don't Exist begins with a mesmerizing account of the life of distinguished biologist David Starr Jordan--and then, quite unexpectedly, turns into so much more. Narrated in Lulu Miller's intimate, quirky voice, this is a story of science and struggle, of heartbreak and chaos. This book will capture your heart, seize your imagination, smash your preconceptions, and rock your world." -- Sy Montgomery, New York Times bestselling author of The Soul of an Octopus, "From page one, Lulu Miller is building something. A personal philosophy. A story. Of a man. Of America. It's all of these things but it's something bigger still and it all happens so gradually that by the last few pages I was shocked to find myself in tears. Like in her best radio stories, Lulu Miller coasts along, easy and seemingly without effort until she cold-cocks you. This book is a beautiful reminder of the sublime mystery of our being alive." -- Jonathan Goldstein, creator of the podcast Heavyweight, "Profound... gripping, and sure to be on readers' minds long after the final pages." -- Booklist (starred review), "Lovely and mysterious and always looking at something else, the way the best books do." -- Orion Magazine, "I love this book's profundity and wit, its moments of darkness and heart-bursting euphoria, and I love the oddball, literary charisma of the mind that wrote it. Plus, by the end--I'm not joking--Lulu Miller may have actually cracked the secret to life." -- Jon Mooallem, author of Wild Ones, "Unconventional... What initially seems like an homage to an indomitable scientist [turns] into a philosophical tale about the limitations of tidy narratives and the dangers of unyielding belief." -- Undark, "A great escape... [and] an extended reflection on how to weather the storm during trying times." -- Outside, "I love this book's profundity and wit, its moments of darkness and heart-bursting euphoria, and I love the oddball, literary charisma of the mind that wrote it. Plus, by the end--I'm not joking--Lulu Miller may have actually cracked the secret to life." -- Jon Mooallem, author of This is Chance!, "Remarkable... Lulu Miller draws a heartening lesson -- that chaos, which comes for us all, can be defeated by sheer human stubbornness." -- Los Angeles Times
