Reviews of The Weatherman

“Entertaining.” —Publishers Weekly

“Winner of the S. Mariella Gable Prize and full of sharply drawn characters and scenes.” —Nashville Scene

“As weather becomes the metaphor for everything in Taylor’s life, people die, old wrongs are more or less righted, free will and destiny are examined, and readers take a joyride through the back roads of Alabama in this very funny, literate novel.” —Library Journal, starred review

"A marvelously sardonic satire of seat-of-the-pants, renegade journalism.” —The Rake

“McCown’s third novel is a hilarious exploration of responsibility, free will, and the seven day forecast….McCown, with his masterful use of language and timing, confidently takes his place at the table of classic American humorists and pulls the tablecloth out from under the plates.” —Minnesota Literature
