From the beloved author of the nationwide bestseller DEPT. OF SPECULATION --- one of the New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of the Year --- a “darkly funny and urgent” (NPR) tour de force about a family, and a nation, in crisis.

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 and 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 and 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 and mother begin to falter as her obsession with disaster psychology and people preparing for the end of the world grows.

A marvelous feat of compression, a mix of great feeling and wry humor, WEATHER is an electrifying encounter with one of the most gifted writers at work today.
