大卫·斯塔尔·乔丹是斯坦福大学的建校校长,也是一位分类学家,一个执着于给自然世界带来秩序的人——他发现了当时人类已知鱼类的近五分之一。但他发现的隐藏生命蓝图越多,宇宙似乎就越想阻止他。他收藏的标本毁于闪电、大火,最终被1906年旧金山地震摧毁——那场地震让近千个装着鱼标本的易碎玻璃罐坠落在地。刹那间,他毕生的收藏毁于一旦。 其他人可能已经放弃,屈服于绝望。但是乔丹检查了脚下的残骸,找到了他辨认出的第一条鱼,并开始自信地重建他的收藏——他用一根缝衣针将标签缝在鱼身上。当世界陷入混乱,他用一根针来重建秩序。 记者露露·米勒第一次听到这则逸事时,她把它当作一个傲慢或拒绝接受现实的警示故事。但当她自己的生活慢慢瓦解,她开始对大卫感到好奇。她对他的生活的挖掘将改变她对历史、道德和她脚下世界的理解。 《鱼不存在》是传记、回忆录和科学冒险的奇妙结合,也是一则温暖人心的寓言,讲述了如何在一个混乱永远盛行的世界里坚持下去。
