The Moth Description
For the first time in print, celebrated storytelling phenomenon The Moth presents fifty spellbinding, soul-bearing stories selected from their extensive archive (fifteen-plus years and 10,000-plus stories strong). Inspired by friends telling stories on a porch, The Moth was born in small-town Georgia, garnered a cult following in New York City, and then rose to national acclaim with the wildly popular podcast and Peabody Award-winning weekly public radio show
The Moth Radio Hour. Stories include: writer Malcolm Gladwell's wedding toast gone horribly awry; legendary rapper Darryl "DMC" McDaniels' obsession with a Sarah McLachlan song; poker champion Annie Duke's two-million-dollar hand; and A. E. Hotchner's death-defying stint in a bullring . . . with his friend Ernest Hemingway. Read about the panic of former Clinton Press Secretary Joe Lockhart when he misses Air Force One after a hard night of drinking in Moscow, and Dr. George Lombardi's fight to save Mother Teresa's life. This will be a beloved read for existing Moth enthusiasts, fans of the featured storytellers, and all who savor well-told, hilarious, and heartbreaking stories.

I've been a fan of The Moth for years, enjoying the podcasts as well as the occasional live show. I was curious how a literary version of these performances would work. Beautifully, it turns out. The stories were just as intimate and moving and funny on the page as on the stage.

The Moth Radio Hour on NPR is such a grabbing hour for me that I just get glued for that 50 minutes to the radio and check out completely. These are all true stories told by individuals who have experienced the story and that emotion, that accent, that expression of those story tellers are what cuts it for me. Just an entertaining hour that takes me away, so the book is great, real great but it is the people that make the story really stick. Read but get the Moth on I-Tunes as well.Bravo, bravo, bravo.
