Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency

Today we are living in a terrifying world, where there's a sense that freedoms are being curtailed and policies are being made to shutter the rights many have worked to secure for so long. Olivia Laing worries about these changes and holds up art as a remedy for these troubles. Funny Weather is a collection of Olivia Laing's essays. Laing shares her thoughts about memorable artists as well as her reviews of books and writers.

This book takes a while to get into and it hits much harder when you know the artist but for the artists and topics that you feel connected to I feel like it can show you a lot.
