Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency by Olivia Laing is a sharp, reflective exploration of how art helps us make sense of uncertainty, conflict, and change. Moving through essays that connect culture, politics, and personal experience, Laing considers what creativity can offer in times of crisis.
Thoughtful, elegant, and vividly observed, this book will appeal to readers who enjoy literary nonfiction with big ideas and emotional depth. Funny Weather invites you to look at art not as escape, but as a way of staying present, questioning the world, and finding meaning in difficult moments.
