Katie Kitamura, author of award-winning book Intimacies, discusses her dazzling, destabilizing novel, Audition with author and writer for the New York Review of Books, Regina Marler. Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She’s an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He’s attractive, troubling, and 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 and the masks we perform.
