A GUARDIAN, INDEPENDENT and NEW STATESMAN Book of the Year
'Slick, sharp, strange and singular . . . You'll gulp this novel down in one in-breath' SAMANTHA HARVEY, Booker Prize-winning author of Orbital
'A lightning bolt of a novel' FINANCIAL TIMES
'I'm not sure there's anyone better writing in America today' ALEX PRESTON, Observer
One woman, the performance of a lifetime. Or two. An exhilarating, destabilising novel that asks whether we ever really know 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.

What If?
Audition blurs the lines between reality and fiction and was something completely new to me. The book is devided into two parts. In the first part the unnamed protagonist meets Xavier, a young man who could be her son, but she has never had children. In the second part the book gets less straight forward as Xavier moves into the home of the protagonist. The story leaves a lot of room for interpretation but the little clues scattered throughout make it a very engaging read. I really liked the parallels between the story and the play the protagonist stars in as well as the connections between the past, present and future. At its core it is a book about family, desire, regret, delusion and the big What If.
