| Everyman His Own Gravity
| | Andrew Weaver
| In this wildly unique literary debut by Andrew Weaver, thirteen short stories collide in a circus of irony and black humor. Through an inventive tangle of fiction and non-fiction, Weaver embarks on a mad tour of farce that spans from escapades inspired by a large pirate hat; to a curiously unfortunate incident involving a balloon animal and a blowfish; to a suicidal man whose life is saved by blueberry bundt cake; to far beyond. As the stories progress and "normal" stretches to its literal extremes, the implications of humor's true influence begin to take shape, and a laughable yet grim portrait of absurdity emerges. By turns funny and philosophical, satiric and contemplative, "Everyman His Own Gravity" is a slim and stylized exploration of art, luck, humanism, and the unbounded jest that composes our world.
