Overview"Anomie is a uniquely told story of Michael, a middle-aged university professor and writer. After a series of tragic events, he seeks closure through myriad experiences, in order to bring balance to his world. Will he find himself in China? ""With strong clear prose Jeff Lockwood illuminates the state of moving between cultures, physically, emotionally, and romantically. It's not that his character, Michael, has no connections, or no heritage. And yet, from the age of three, he has chosen to separate himself, to be an outsider even in the places, and with the people, he loves."" - Rachel Pollack, recipient of the Arthur C. Clarke Award and the World Fantasy Award Jeffrey Lockwood hails from Michigan's Upper Peninsula, but has lived internationally for many years. Presently, he writes in Inner Mongolia. Anomie is his first novel." Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jeffrey A.

Table of ContentsReviewsReaders who want a philosophical, accessible, and involving read that uses the character of a displaced American professor in China to explore these transition points will find in Anomie an exploration of the connections between individual and society, all wound up in the microcosm of one man's life and bundled into a story that seems light, but quickly moves into the depths of darkness and out again. --Midwest Review, D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer Anomie is a book that draws you in from the first page. The author chooses to start the reader off in the middle of events and work semi-backwards to figure out what led Michael to China in the first place before moving into the present and the future. It's a genius way to begin a book in which the main character is trying to find his way toward understanding who he is and what he wants out of life. --Gabriel Reads MARQUETTE - A Manistique native has published his first novel, written a long way from home, but using some Upper Peninsula settings. --The Mining Journal A very unique story with an original plot. --Juniper Grove ...there were things in the book that made me laugh, and I mean truly laugh out loud and people around me started looking me ... --Books Are My Way of Living Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
