About The Lowering Days, Richard Russo writes, “Gregory Brown gives us a lush, almost mythic portrait of a very specific place and time that feels all the more universal for its singularity. There’s magic here.”
And Publishers Weekly says, "Brown’s dynamic debut shines a light on a small town’s fraught history in Maine’s Penobscot River valley. . . Brown poetically depicts the bucolic backdrop and grounds the action amid forested hillsides 'deep and green and smoky with the scent of pine.' Lyrical and gorgeously written, Brown’s memorable outing does justice to a complicated web of issues."
Gregory Brown grew up along Penobscot Bay. His debut novel, The Lowering Days, is forthcoming in 2021 from HarperCollins in the United States and the United Kingdom and Editions Gallmeister in France. His short stories have appeared in several publications, including Tin House, Alaska Quarterly Review, Shenandoah, Epoch, and Narrative Magazine, where he was a winner of the 30Below Prize. he graduated from the Iowa Writers' Workshop and has received fellowships from the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, the Napa Valley Writers' Conference, the Sewanee Writers' Conference, and MacDowell. He lives in Maine with his family and many dogs.
