The Old Drift (/ˈoʊld/;[1] /dɹɪft/;[2]), is the debut novel of Zambian writer Namwali Serpell, published in March 2019. The eponymous inn is a locale set in what is then 19th-century Zambia, and whose patrons are European settlers. It is here that Pietro Gavuzzi, the forebearer of a Zambian-Italian lineage, incurs something of a generational curse after an altercation with one of the Old Drift's slavers.
When the novel was first published in March 2019, it received universal critical acclaim from critics and writers alike. Garth Greenwell, author of "What Belongs to You" described it as "at once so sweepingly ambitious and so intricately patterned, delivering the pleasures of saga and poetry in equal measure. Salman Rushdie, writing for the New York Times Book Review, called it a dazzling debut that "established Namwali Serpell on the world stage."
