What does it mean?

I doubt if this sentece is grammetically correct.
There was nothing remotely awkward with the man

but what does remotely mean here? distance?

I copy it from a novel "shutter Island".

He was far from awkward.
There was nothing even slightly awkward about him.

EngBBThere was nothing remotely awkward about a man.

You have misquoted the sentence. The definite article was used in the book: No, there was nothing remotely awkward about the man. Remotely means slightly, so the sentence means that the man was not even a little bit awkward, that he was not awkward at all.
