This was quite a compelling book. I listened to it and wish I had had a physical copy because reading the words on the page would have added something, I believe. But there is also something special about having it read aloud. It's just that this book was so DEEP! I wanted to mull over certain passages, which I can only do by reading the words.
The end confused me a bit. I think I need to take out the physical book and have another look. Kitamura is a deep thinker, a writing genius, I think.
Here's a brief summary from Tertulia:
“Kitamura’s novels are short, sharp, and deadly. I’m not sure there’s anyone better writing in America today,” declared The Guardian in their roundup of fiction to watch in 2025. In Audition, an accomplished actress and an attractive younger man meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. As the encounter unfolds, competing narratives emerge, questioning the roles we play and the truths we conceal.
