Review: An unnerving man changes the life of ‘Audition’ heroine Fiction: Katie Kitamura’s new novel is a glittering work of illusion and desire.

I adore @katiekitamura.bsky.social's gorgeous new novel, "Audition," set in NYC's theater world, a deconstruction of form, marriage, and family. Out tomorrow from @riverheadbooks.bsky.social. Here's my review for @startribune.com: www.startribune.com/audition-kat...

Katie Kitamura Knows We’re Faking It The novelist discusses her new book, “Audition,” the role of performance in everyday life, and the trick of crafting a narrative that functions as a “Rorschach blot.”

Can't believe I'm lucky enough to talk with @egangoonsquad.bsky.social for the launch of Audition. Please join us (and thank you Jenny!)

Deeply grateful to @priscillagilman.bsky.social and to @katekilla.bsky.social for this dream review in @bostonglobe.com.

We're giving AUDITION by @katiekitamura.bsky.social a HUGE round of applause 👏👏👏 for being an April Indie Next Pick!

This is what happens when you ask me to help sanewash the Trump tariffs.

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 @katiekitamura.bsky.social unshakeably elegant prose.)

thank you @vintagebooks.bsky.social

Thank you, Jenny!

I can't believe I am missing this!

Thank you, Amanda! ❤️ I'm also so very excited for Lacey and Febos; the Carrere is fantastic.

Thank you so much, Keiran! Very grateful to you for reading x
