Literary Book Group with Mark Scarbrough

Four Novels About Memory:

Katie Kitamura, AUDITION (2025)
Thursday, November 12, 10:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. 

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. The novel was a finalist for the Booker Prize and the Pulitzer Prize.
