Disappearing earth is a very good book. I am unable to put it down. When can I expect another book from you? Love from Kenya!

How did you convey the RFE’s alienation and otherworldliness? (I’ve been to Kamchatka twice, as well as Primorye.)

Amid the mystery and overlapping plots is deep exploration of the struggle of eking out a marginal life in the distant outskirts of post-Soviet Russia.

Hi! I am currently reading your book and I'm so happy I picked it up. I love the feeling of sadness, of dreams crushed and bits being picked up, the whole feel of a town of absent men and so present women. I was nicely surprised to discover it is not the detective story I was expecting, but (as far as I understand it?) a story of women connected by delicate bonds. Congratulations on a wonderfully written book!
