In Anamakee, Garret Schuelke’s aimless hero, Floyd Spicer, returns to his hometown of Alpena, Michigan, after bombing out of college. Taking place between the final weeks of October and the beginning of November, Anamakee follows Floyd’s depressing home and social life, his nerve-racking job at the local linen service, and his schooling at Alpena Community College. "A stark fight song for the alienated...Anamakee is overflowing with antidotes for the doom of the ordinary day. Nothing's wasted" –Bud Smith, author of F 250 "With Anamakee, Schuelke has brought forth that elusive thing, the generation-defining work...and it's already one of my favorite books."–Gareth Spark, author of Snake Farm
