The Weight of an Apple

By Matthew Alberhasky

A heart-felt portrait of the difficulties experienced by an intellectually curious and emotionally sensitive child growing up in a conservative environment in which he never quite feels at home. Navigating the onset of shame, the drive for parental approval, sexual awakening, the demands of peer pressure, first love, and loss, this three-part story elegantly captures snapshots of Paul's childhood in the 1980s to his coming of age at the dawn of the new millennium. A meticulously crafted literary novella, at turns poignant and humorous, The Weight of an Apple is a meditation on how the legacy of childhood leaves an indelible imprint on us all.
