Catherine Lacey of the New York Times published a fantastic review of DRIFTS, writing: “Like many of the writers she resembles or reveres — Jean Rhys and Robert Walser, to name an odd pair — Zambreno draws on autobiography but never leans on it . . . her sentences are always airy and streamlined, full of wit and candor.” Andrew Schenker of the LA Times Book Review also praised DRIFTS, writing: “Nominally a work of fiction, but very clearly autobiographical, DRIFTS not so much renders the question of genre irrelevant but charts the search for a new genre.” Riverhead Books published the book on May 19, 2020.

Peter Marks, theatre critic for the Washington Post, is surviving theatre deprivation by reading Andrew McConnell Scott’s WHAT BLEST GENIUS. Marks writes: “Stott, an English professor at the University of Southern California, takes us to Shakespeare’s birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, in 1769, where the celebrated actor David Garrick staged a lavish multiday publicity event to fete the playwright who made him famous. The whole thing was a bit of debacle, as Stott’s witty account reveals. But it was also the turning point for the world’s wholehearted embrace of theater’s greatest writer.” W.W. Norton & Company published the book on April 2, 2019.
