Anomie

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.
