Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life
by Lulu Miller
Description
Part memoir, part scientific detective story, this compelling work follows an investigation into David Starr Jordan, a pioneering ichthyologist whose life was devoted to cataloging the world’s fish. As the story unfolds, questions about classification, order, and the limits of human knowledge lead to deeper reflections on grief, resilience, and the search for meaning amid chaos. Blending reporting, history, and personal narrative, the book explores how people make sense of loss—and whether the categories we rely on to understand life can ever capture its true complexity. The result is an insightful and moving meditation on science, love, and the hidden patterns that shape our existence.
