One woman, the performance of a lifetime. Or two. An exhilarating, destabilizing Möbius strip of a novel that asks if 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 and young --- young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? In AUDITION, 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.
