We are not ready nor worthy' Ocean Vuong An obligatory note of hope, in a world going to hell. 'What are you afraid of, he asks me and the answer of course is dentistry, humiliation, scarcity, then he says what are your most useful skills? People think I'm funny.' Lizzie Benson, a part-time librarian, is already overwhelmed with the crises of daily life when an old mentor offers her a job answering mail from the listeners of her apocalyptic podcast, Hell and High Water. Soon questions begin pouring in from left-wingers worried about climate change and right-wingers worried about the decline of Western civilization. Entering this polarized world, Lizzie is forced to consider who she is and what she can do to help: as a mother, as a wife, as a sister, and as a citizen of this doomed planet.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 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.; Lizzie Benson, Amateur-Psychologin und Bibliothekarin mit Hang zu apokalyptischen Gedanken, soll die Fanpost zum alarmistischen Podcast »Hölle und Hochwasser« beantworten. So stürzt sie sich in die Auseinandersetzung mit besorgten Linken, die die Klimakatastrophe kommen sehen, ebenso wie mit den Ultrakonservativen und deren Sorge um den Untergang der westlichen Zivilisation. Wie aber, fragt Lizzie sich immer häufiger, kann sie ihren privaten Garten wässern, wenn die ganze Welt in Flammen steht.
