New Book Discussion:

A friendly and relaxed discussion of the novel Audition by Katie Kitamura

In Audition, readers are asked who we are to the people we love. Here, two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She's an elegant and 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 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 best.

We will meet each month to explore new book themes and genres.
