Entranced by the work of Rainer Maria Rilke, Albrecht Dürer, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA story of artistic ambition, personal crisis, and the possibilities and failures of literature, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eDrifts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the work of an exhilarating and vital writer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Womb House Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53100428525877,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/6247\/9413\/files\/drifts.jpg?v=1783369362","url":"https:\/\/wombhousebooks.com\/products\/drifts-a-novel-by-kate-zambreno","provider":"Womb House Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
