Description du livre Softcover. Etat : new. Product DescriptionA dazzling debut, establishing Namwali Serpell as a writer on the world stage.-Salman Rushdie, The New York Times Book ReviewNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Dwight Garner, The New York Times The New York Times Book Review Time NPR The Atlantic BuzzFeed Tordotcom Kirkus Reviews BookPageWINNER OF: The Arthur C. Clarke Award The Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award The Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for Fiction The Windham-Campbell Prizes for Fiction1904. On the banks of the Zambezi River, a few miles from the majestic Victoria Falls, there is a colonial settlement called The Old Drift. In a smoky room at the hotel across the river, an Old Drifter named Percy M. Clark, foggy with fever, makes a mistake that entangles the fates of an Italian hotelier and an African busboy. This sets off a cycle of unwitting retribution between three Zambian families (black, white, brown) as they collide and converge over the course of the century, into the present and beyond. As the generations pass, their lives-their triumphs, errors, losses and hopes-emerge through a panorama of history, fairytale, romance and science fiction.From a woman covered with hair and another plagued with endless tears, to forbidden love affairs and fiery political ones, to homegrown technological marvels like Afronauts, microdrones and viral vaccines, this gripping, unforgettable novel is a testament to our yearning to create and cross borders, and a meditation on the slow, grand passage of time.Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Ray Bradbury Prize Longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel PrizeAn intimate, brainy, gleaming epic . . . This is a dazzling book, as ambitious as any first novel published this decade.-Dwight Garner, The New York TimesA founding epic in the vein of Virgils Aeneid . . . though in its sprawling size, its flavor of picaresque comedy and its fusion of family lore with national politics it more resembles Salman Rushdies Midnights Children.-The Wall Street JournalA story that intertwines strangers into families, which we'll follow for a century, magic into everyday moments, and the story of a nation, Zambia.-NPRReviewA rich, thick Zambian epic, The Old Drift blends real-life history with magical realism. . . . A striking debut.-USA Today (5 Books Not to Miss)In a novel that spans the breadth of Zambias precolonial past to its digital future, Serpells unbound imagination is often a thing of beauty. . . . It is in the familial space with its dramas of loves, betrayals, desires and dreams that [Serpell] excels. Her Zambian characters are especially brimming and compelling. In a nod to Leo Tolstoy, she eventually offers her readers a lovely kernel of an overarching theme that binds her characters across the passage of time and encapsulates her confident writing style: Every family is a war but some are more civil than others.-Minneapolis Star Tribune"Namwali Serpells vibrant, intellectually rich debut novel, The Old Drift, is in keeping in that tradition, and like any good nation-hoovering novel, it too refuses to conform to expectations. . . . This oddball cast of characters simply represents the joys of the picaresque novel, in which the authors set design is intentionally surreal and ironic. . . . Serpell is a natural social novelist, capable of conjuring a Dickensian range of characters with a painterly eye for detail.-The Washington PostHighly anticipated . . . a boldly sweeping epic . . . The singularly stunning achievement of [The Old Drift]: grappling with grandiose, complex notions, funneled through a kind of worldly knowledge and historical curiosity-all of which is ultimately grounded in an attention to the interiors of individual lives. . . . Serpells vision has made The Old Drift among the most buzzed-about books of the year.-San Francisco ChronicleIn this wonderfully chaotic epic, Namwali Serpell invites us into an indelible.
