What a sumptuous, surprising, dark delight’ - Carmen Maria Machado, author of Into the Dream House‘At one point, Miller dives into the ocean into a school of fish … comes up for air, and realizes shes in love. Thats how I felt: Her book took me to strange depths I never imagined, and I was smitten’ - The New York Times Book Review‘Why Fish Dont Exist is a book about losing love and finding it, a book about how faith sustains us and also how it grows toxic. Its a story told with an open heart, every page of it animated by verve, nuance, and full-throated curiosity’ - Leslie Jamison, author of Make It Scream, Make It Burn‘Riveting. Surprising.

This book will capture your heart, seize your imagination, smash your preconceptions, and rock your world’ - Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus‘Moves gracefully between reporting and meditation, big questions and small moments.
