Weather: A Novel
Jenny Offill“Offill’s fragmentary structure evokes an unbearable emotional intensity: something at the core of the story that cannot be narrated directly, by straight chronology, because to do so would be like looking at the sun...” — The New York Times
Lizzie works in the library of a university where she was once a promising graduate student. Her side hustle is answering the letters that come in to Hell & High Water, the doom-laden podcast hosted by her former mentor. At first, it suits her, this chance to practice her other calling as an unofficial shrink — she has always played this role to her divorced mother & brother recovering from addiction — but soon Lizzie finds herself struggling to strike the obligatory note of hope in her responses. The reassuring rhythms of her life as a wife & mother begin to falter as her obsession with disaster psychology & people preparing for the end of the world grows.
"... tiny in size & immense in scope, radically disorienting yet reassuringly humane, strikingly eccentric & completely irresistible... A narrator & a novel that hum with anxiety & pulse with dread are nonetheless hilarious, warm, & lovable. Both ruefully mordant & strangely consoling, Weather is at once brutal in its unsparing honesty & utterly exhilarating in its wit & intelligence. It radiates with the beleaguered yet buoyant optimism, the luminous integrity, of a supple & fearless writer." — Priscilla Gillman, The Boston Globe
A marvellous feat of compression, a mix of great feeling & wry humour, Weather is an electrifying encounter with one of the most gifted writers at work today.
