2 Left Bank Books in Belfast and Bangor Daily News will host a free online conversation with Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist Richard Russo and debut author Gregory Brown on Tuesday, March 23, at 7 p.m. The two will discuss Brown’s new novel, “The Lowering Days.”
The novel is set in a fictional town on the Penobscot River. The town’s paper mill is shuttered. Just as Japanese investors show interest in reopening the mill, a teenage girl from the Penobscot Nation sets fire to the plant. Some townspeople see her act as environmental justice; others call it criminal mischief. It reveals long-simmering grievances that end in a cycle of violence that tears the community and two families apart.
