An accomplished actress and an attractive much younger man meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. Who is he to her, and who is she to him . . . ?
A tightly wound family drama that reads like a hypnotic, slow-burn psychological thriller, Audition is an exhilarating, destabilizing Mobius strip of a novel that asks whether we ever really know the people we love.
"Kitamura is one of our most brilliant writers, saying far more in her silences, blank spaces, and disruptions than most novelists can say in a hundred thousand words." -- Lauren Groff, author of Matrix, Arcadia, and Fates and Furies
