Begin the begin: “Audition” by Katie Kitamura A

As another lit year unravels we go on another hourney of beginnings and reinvention with “Audition” by Katie Kitamura.

A tense novel about acting and performing. Katie Kitamura uses family and theatre as the stage for a slippery investigation into performance and identity: how we construct our selves in relation to the people around us. Composed of two separate and contradictory narratives, it’s a puzzle box of a book that demands immediate rereading.
