Drifts is a dazzling and enjoyable book. Kate Zambreno has invented a new form. It is a kind of absolute present, real life captured in closeup. Ive never read truer pages on the subject of pregnancy. No writer has come so close to achieving a total grasp of life: the entanglement of everyday things, a writing project, and a pregnant body, in a single work. Annie Ernaux, winner of the Nobel Prize in LiteratureNamed a Best Book of the Year by The Paris Review, Elle, Harpers Bazaar, Esquire, Vulture, and Refinery29Reading all Zambreno feels like the jolt one gets from a surprise cut or burn in the kitchen, that sudden recognition that youre in a body and the body can be hurt. Alicia Kennedy, Refinery29Haunting and compulsively readable, Drifts is an intimate portrait of reading, writing, and creative obsession. At work on a novel that is overdue, spending long days walking neighborhood streets with her restless terrier, corresponding ardently with fellow writers, the narrator grows obsessed with the challenge of writing the present tense, of capturing time itself. Entranced by the work of Rainer Maria Rilke, Albrecht Drer, Chantal Akerman, and others, she photographs the residents and strays of her neighborhood, haunts bookstores and galleries, and records her thoughts in a yellow notebook that soon subsumes her work on the novel. As winter closes in, a series of disturbancesthe appearances and disappearances of enigmatic figures, the burglary of her apartmentleaves her distracted and uncertain . . . until an intense and tender disruption changes everything.A story of artistic ambition, personal crisis, and the possibilities and failures of literature, Drifts is the work of an exhilarating and vital writer.
