Continental Drift is a novel by acclaimed American author Russell Banks, published in 2006. The plot intertwines the lives of Bob Dubois, a boiler repairman from New England seeking a new life in Florida, and Vanise Dorsinville, a young Haitian woman who emigrates to the United States in search of a better life. Through their experiences, Banks explores themes of class, race, the American dream, and the moral drift of contemporary society. The novel offers a portrait of contemporary North America, with a narrative that balances anger, compassion, and a deep understanding of human motivations.
