The Restless Man is Anwar Muhammad's debut novel. It tells the story of a Uyghur man utterly ruined by debauchery, intoxication, and greed. As he sinks into poverty, the novel exposes the corruption of local government and the collapse of societal morality. By depicting the life of a family in a county town, the book sheds light on the social issues that emerged in Uyghur society during the rapid urbanization of the early 1990s.
