Overview
"Deadweight Slump is a collection of short stories by Kā'ai Sutton Fernandez that explores the motif of isolation, specifically the ways that physical, emotional, and social isolation manifests through relationships particular to those in a guardianship. Part of the human experience is stepping up to help, assist, guide, or protect others, as well as being in need of guidance or protection. At the heart of each story in this collection is the relationship between those who need help and those who must provide it, but cannot due to emotional, financial, or physical reasons. It is at the crossroads between these two factors – isolation and guardianship – that Fernandez's Deadweight Slump explores the messy reality of a less-than-ideal situation, and how people either rise to the occasion or fail to flourish." -- Abstract
