Julia Phillips, author of the novel Disappearing Earth, visits Darien Library Community Room for a talk and book signing from 7 to 8 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 15. The event is free, and you can buy her book there. Evoking the Kamchatka Peninsula at the northeastern edge of Russia, a fascinating region on the other side of the world, this suspenseful story announces the debut of a profoundly gifted writer. Taking us through a year in Kamchatka, Disappearing Earth enters with astonishing emotional acuity the worlds of a cast of richly drawn characters, all connected by a crime: a witness, a neighbor, a detective, a mother.
