This week, we’re giving away three copies of Audition by Katie Kitamura. In Audition, a lunch between an actress and a mysterious younger man becomes a quiet unraveling of identity and intimacy. Through shifting perspectives, Katie Kitamura explores how performance, memory, and desire shape who we are to others–and ourselves. Taut, spare, and haunting. Here’s the blurb:
The mesmerising new novel from the author of ‘Intimacies' that asks who we are to the people we love
Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She’s an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He’s attractive, troubling, young – young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? In this compulsively readable, brilliantly constructed novel, two competing narratives unspool, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day – partner, parent, creator, muse – and the truths every performance masks, especially from those who think they know us most intimately.
Taut and hypnotic, ‘Audition' is Katie Kitamura at her virtuosic best.
