Over the years, climate change has become a major feature and central topic of the modern cultural and literary discussion as it can no longer be viewed only as an environmental crisis, but also an emotive state of consciousness which defines our daily lives. Recent fiction has reacted to this change by abandoning the grandiose form of the apocalypse in favor of smaller scale depiction of doubt, trepidation and emotional unsteadiness. An example of such a tendency is Jenny Offill’s work Weather (2020), which describes climate change as a constant background anxiety in the everyday life of a person instead of a spectacular phenomenon.
