Jenny Offill_28

This is a lovely, hardcover, Granta original. A slim volume. Slipcover in subtly textured specialty stock. Hand-lettered typography. So we know it's literary fiction by a well-educated white woman, written for same. And lo, introducing Jenny Offill. 'Weather'—about a librarian, worried, married, kids—is right up my alley, of course. Witty, observant, episodic, succinct to a fault (it's often unclear what's happening, but very little does). "And then it is another day and another and another, but I will not go on about this because no doubt you too have experienced time."
