Athens: Book Club: “Weather” by Jenny Offill

Join the library staff and other literary enthusiasts for a friendly, engaging discussion each month during their book club!

In April, the group will discuss “Weather” by Jenny Offill.

Lizzie works in the university library. Once a promising graduate student, her side hustle is answering the letters that come in to a 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.
