Additional Information

Collecting together Laing’s writing about art and culture, the essays in Funny Weather argue that in troubled times, art can change the world, with wit, originality and compassion. Hand signed by the author, making it a fantastic gift.

Featuring interviews with authors Ali Smith and Hilary Mantel, profiles of artists Jean-Michel Basquiat and Georgia O’Keefe, and adoring musings for musicians Freddie Mercury and David Bowie, it’s a exploration of art’s connection to our lived experiences. The book holds up art as an antidote to terrifying political turmoils, and a source of both resistance and repair.

Olivia Laing is a British writer, novelist and cultural critic. An award winning novelist, she is the author of To the River, The Trip to Echo Spring, The Lonely City and Crudo, as well as writing on art and culture for publications including The Guardian, The New York Times and Frieze. Her non-fiction writing won her the a Windham-Campbell Prize for non-fiction in 2018.
