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 D rer, 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 disturbances--the appearances and disappearances of enigmatic figures, the burglary of her apartment--leaves her distracted and uncertain . . . until an intense and tender disruption changes everything. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A story of artistic ambition, personal crisis, and the possibilities and failures of literature, \u003ci\u003eDrifts\u003c\/i\u003e is the work of an exhilarating and vital writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Riverhead Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593087237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.13w x 0.81d","brand":"Kate Zambreno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39816842412213,"sku":"9780593087237","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_815ad328-f8cd-449c-882f-b08e98d6ba76.jpg?v=1618927295","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/drifts-9780593087237","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
