"
The Weight slowly builds while staying in the same place. It's funny and weird and unique. And also good."
— Shannon Wheeler, New Yorker cartoonist; author,
Too Much Coffee Man
"Fikaris explores the tentativeness of identity under lockdown with a deceptively light hand. Before Homo Sapiens decided that COVID was here to stay, the existential shock of proximity to a mysterious death brought people to simultaneously lose their performative identities and rely on them even more.
The Weight brilliantly captures this fine line between archetype and dissolution.
The individuals in this book are poured into protective suits, converted to slapstick yet elegant symbols. Some are forlorn; others indomitable. I envision a future bibliomancy where readers randomly flip to pages in this book for insight. Is the correct response to today's challenges 'the reckoner' or 'the donk'?"
