Show Notes

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.
