Question: How does Jenny Offill’s minimalist and fragmented narrative structure in Weather play with temporality & reflect society’s difficulty in both conceptualizing and acting in the current climate crisis? How does this shape the novel’s portrayal of existential uncertainty about the future?

    Good start. You might include Nixon's work on "slow violence" and Lemenager's as well, since Offill is clearly thinking, like they are, about the problem of making "slow violence" legible and hence something that you can analyze and revise. I'd also like to see another peer-reviewed source or two, including the two texts we'll be reading together (see ETEXTS above).
