In this remarkable, inspiring collection of essays, acclaimed
writer and critic Olivia Laing makes a brilliant case for why
art matters, especially in the turbulent political weather of
the twenty first century. Funny Weather brings together a
career’s worth of Laing’s writing about art and culture,
examining its role in our political and emotional lives. She
profiles Jean-Michel Basquiat and Georgia O’Keefe,
interviews Hilary Mantel and Ali Smith, writes love letters to
David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, and explores loneliness
and technology, women and alcohol, sex and the body.
With characteristic originality and compassion, she
celebrates art as a force of resistance and repair, an
antidote to a frightening political time.
