Audition

Resumen del libro

One woman, the performance of a lifetime. Or two. An exhilarating, destabilizing Moumlbius strip of a novel that asks whether we ever really know the people we love. Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. Shes an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. Hes attractive, troubling, youngyoung 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.
