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

challenging dark emotional informative reflective slow-paced

3.0

 I snatched this up from Audible, excited to read a full book by a Radiolab writer and editor. Radiolab is one of my all-time favorite podcasts and I love the way they twine stories together. Also science. That being said, it took me a very long time to see how these stories wove together and ultimately I'm not sure how successfully they meshed. I wasn't sure what the appeal of David Star Jordon was initially, nor even at the end, though I was drawn into the narrative more once we found out
he was a eugenicist.
Miller's narration was wonderful - evidence of her radio background. I will read more of her books, as I feel she can only grow as an author.
