"Zambreno has been putting out smart, underrecognized novels for a decade," wrote Vulture in naming Drifts one of their Best Books of 2020. "She ought to be Rachel Cusk'd."
Haunting 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, the narrator grows obsessed with the challenge of writing the present tense, of capturing time itself. Entranced by the work of Rilke, Dürer, Chantal Akerman, and others, she photographs her neighborhood, haunts bookstores and galleries, and records her thoughts in a notebook that soon subsumes her work on the novel. As winter closes in, a series of disturbances-the comings and goings of enigmatic figures, the burglary of her apartment-leaves her unsettled…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.

A MAJOR STEP IN A MUCH-FOLLOWED CAREER: Along with rave reviews everywhere from the New York Times to Entertainment Weekly to Elle, Drifts has been recognized as a major step in the career of "one of our most formally ambitious writers" (Esquire), and prompted whole-career retrospectives in the LA Review of Books, the Chicago Review of Books, and elsewhere.
"THE PERFECT BOOK FOR THE MOMENT WE'RE LIVING IN" (Boston Globe): In a voice that's tender and compulsively readable, Drifts follows a writer's solitary attempt to capture the very passage of time-and its portrayal of loneliness has resonated with readers in a time when unexpected isolation is nearly universal.
