The Ultimate Book of Kid Concoctions by John E Thomas

If I could write just a single story as beautiful and heartbreaking and intelligent as the thirteen linked together in Drift, I'm pretty sure that I could die a happy man. Victoria Patterson makes me envious as hell, and I applaud her for it. --Donald Ray Pollock, author of Knockemstiff

Welcome to Newport Beach, California--a community often found glittering in the spotlight, but one that isn't always as glamorous as we imagine. Through the lives of waiters and waitresses, divorced and single parents, and alienated teens, Victoria Patterson's Drift offers a rare and rewarding view into the real life of this nearly mythical place, all the while plumbing the depths of female friendship and what it means to be an outsider. Fresh, energetic, deceptively powerful and delightfully frank, hers is a voice you won't be able to stop reading.

Drift is one of the truest depictions of Southern California I've read yet. Amidst the rampant materialism and manicured malls of Newport Beach, Patterson depicts characters simultaneously at odds with, and in sync with, the cultural void around them. This work is subtle, honest, and a great pleasure to read. --Danzy Senna, author of Caucasia

Victoria Patterson has enormous talent. --James Lee Burke, author of Purple Cane Road

Victoria Patterson grew up in Newport Beach and received her MFA from UC Riverside. Her award-winning short fiction has appeared in the Santa Monica Review, Florida Review, and Snake-Nation Review, among other publications. She lives with her family in South Pasadena, California.

Wilfrid Waluchow is a professor in the Philosophy Department at McMaster University. His other works include Inclusive Legal Positivism (OUP); John Thomas, one of Canada's leading bioethicists, died in 1997.
