Between writing “Intimacies” and writing “Audition,” her latest novel, Katie Kitamura became preoccupied with the degree to which performance is present in our day-to-day lives.

ALT A quote from the novelist Katie Kitamura that reads, “There are all these parts that we play every single day, and they come with quite prescriptive scripts. The thing that struck me when I was thinking about ‘Audition’ is how seamlessly we flip between parts almost without being aware of it.”

Today @katiekitamura (2024 Fellow) publishes her new novel, “Audition,” with @riverheadbooks. On April 23 she joins @ayadakhtar (2018 Resident) and @ValeriaLuiselli for a conversation on contemporary literature at the #RomePrize ceremony.

"A deftly crafted, slow-burn psychological thriller full of sly metafictional reflections on the nature of storytelling and identity."

I adore @katiekitamura's deconstruction of form and marriage and family in her surgically precise new novel, "Audition," out from @riverheadbooks tomorrow. Here's my review for @StribGoingOut: startribune.com/audition-kat…

Katie Kitamura discusses her new book, the role of performance in everyday life, and the trick of crafting a narrative that functions as a “Rorschach blot.”

Audition!
An emotional, intelligent, intensely stylish novel that reads a bit like walking on quicksand: shocking, eerie, disorienting, and utterly immersive. I was floored by it.
(Plus, you know I love Kitamura’s unshakeably elegant prose.)
thank you @seanghayes for sending
