Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life by Lulu Miller

dark emotional funny informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

I've followed Lulu Miller's audio stories on public radio for years and I found Why Fish Don't Exist absolutely absorbing. Part memoir, part scientific deep dive into the life of David Starr Jordan (a taxonomist who discovered one-fifth of the fish known to humans), Why Fish Don't Exist examines order and chaos in the world with humor and deep personal insight.
