520    "In the tradition of book anthologies created from public 
       radio programs such as StoryCorps and This I Believe, THE 
       MOTH collects the best storytelling moments--most in print
       here for the very first time--straight from their archive 
       of more than 3000 shows since the first Moth Evening in 
       1997. From James Braly's struggling with what to do when 
       his three-year-old son wants a pink bicycle to Dr. George 
       Lombardi's flying to India to save Mother Theresa's life, 
       from former U.S. Press Secretary Joe Lockhart's 
       oversleeping after a long night in a Moscow bar and 
       missing Air Force One on his first international trip, to 
       Ed Gavagan's surviving being stabbed by a gang and then 
       testifying at their trial, these 40 stories range from 
       sublime to heartbreaking to hilarious, and this collection
       will feature the very best. Backed by The Moth's own 
       efforts and their expanding syndication and live event 
       efforts in 2012-2013, this book will be an important and 
       cherished read for existing fans of the program, literary 
       fans of some of the featured storytellers, and oral 
       history buffs coast-to-coast"--|cProvided by publisher.
