Upstairs at Murray's: Jenny Offill in conversation with Amitava Kumar

From the author of the nationwide bestseller "Dept. of Speculation", one of the New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of the Year, comes "Weather" a shimmering tour de force about a family, and a nation, in crisis. In "Weather" the feral librarian Lizzie Benson is hired by her former mentor to answer mail about the podcast, Hell and High Water. Lizzie answers mail from left-wingers worried about climate change and right-wingers worried about the decline of western civilization. “This is so good. We are not ready nor worthy.”--Ocean Vuong, author of "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous"
