A man travels back to his origins to try to explain to himself how he acted in a moment. His goal is ambiguous and difficult for him to discern, but he knows he must free the past to enjoy his future. This first person story of what might be criminal behavior explores what people do in their attempts to overcome their circumstances. It deals with issues of loss, abandonment, transformation, and justification. The book sets no moral boundaries, but recognizes the character of the community where the man's behavior might be recognized as beyond the justifiable social norms. Based on actual events. These are the Confessions of Anomie.
