    Katie Kitamura on Writing Audition
    May 29 2025

    We had the pleasure of recording a bonus episode with Katie Kitamura, the author of our May Book Club Pick, Audition! We ask her about the book’s inspiration, the writing process of such an experimental novel, what’s ~actually~ going on in the plot, and the origins of the scenes that have stuck with us the most.

    May 28 2025

    We’re SO excited to discuss Audition by Katie Kitamura! While this book may be hard to recap (uh, what actually happened??), we can’t wait to dive into theories and themes.

    We share our feelings about the ambiguous plot and discuss the theme of performance throughout the book. We also explore overlaps with two other past pieces of favorite content.

    And get ready, we’ll have a bonus episode out tomorrow with Katie Kitamura herself to get a behind-the-scenes look on the process of writing this book.
