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.
