All These Wonders

From the storytelling phenomenon The Moth, an anthology of 45 riveting true stories about risk, courage, and facing the unknown, drawn from the best ever told on their stages. Carefully selected by the creative minds at The Moth, and adapted to the page to preserve the raw energy of live storytelling, All These Wonders features voices both familiar and new. Alongside Louis C. K. , Tig Notaro, John Turturro, and Meg Wolitzer, readers will encounter: an astronomer gazing at the surface of Pluto for the first time; a young female spy risking everything as part of Churchill's secret army during World War II; a hip-hop star coming to terms with being a one-hit-wonder; an Afghan refugee learning how much her father sacrificed to save their family; and more. High-school student and neuroscientist alike, the storytellers share their ventures into uncharted territory and how their lives were changed indelibly by what they discovered there.
