doi:10.12795/REN.2022.i26.11engPeinado Abarrio, Rubén'Fragmented and Bewildering:' The New Risk Society in Jenny Offill's WeatherART-2022-131803US author Jenny Offill’s Weather (2020) shows her idiosyncratic take on the notion of risk society. In the novel and its accompanying website, Offill develops a type of anxious fragmentation as an answer to the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. A multiple text characterized by compulsive quotation and the formal influence of digital media, Weather is held together by a first-person confessional voice. Eventually, Offill manages to achieve a sense of interconnection through an aesthetics of the fragment thanks to a double movement: she favors a critical posthumanist perspective that understands the interrelational subject as constituted by interaction with multiple others, and she explicitly calls for collective action. Therefore, I conclude that Weather represents Offill’s both aesthetic and political quest, as she distinctly aspires to elicit an answer from readers in the form of social activism.2022http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/12119610.12795/REN.2022.i26.11http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/121196oai:zaguan.unizar.es:121196Revista de Estudios Norteamericanos 26 (2022), 1-23All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
