The Latitude of Loss is Book 1 of The Elias Vane Trilogy, a literary autofiction series about grief, desire, travel, masculinity, faith, and the cost of becoming honest with oneself.
After the death of his parents, the collapse of his marriage, and the unraveling of the respectable life he once believed would save him, Elias Vane crosses borders in search of something more honest than survival. From Florida to Colombia, Iceland, Brazil, and Doha, travel becomes more than escape. It becomes a way of measuring what grief has taken, what desire has awakened, and what remains possible after loss.
Confessional, sensual, reflective, and emotionally charged, The Latitude of Loss blends the intimacy of memoir with the freedom of fiction. It is a novel for readers drawn to family memory, faith and doubt, divorce, longing, self-discovery, and the strange mercy of starting over.
For anyone who knows that grief does not always lead to closure, The Latitude of Loss asks a deeper question: what if loss is not only an ending, but a coordinate on the map of becoming fully alive?
