This short book by Isabella Hammad publishes later this week, and it is very, very good. I’ve read it twice in the last few days

Audition! An emotional, intelligent, intensely stylish novel that reads a bit like walking on quicksand: shocking, eerie, disorienting, and utterly immersive. I was floored by it. (Plus, you know I love Kitamura’s unshakeably elegant prose.) thank you Seán Hayes for sending

Great to see Katie Kitamura’s AUDITION (April) included as a novel to watch out for in 2025! Can’t say it much better than Alex here: ‘I’m not sure there’s anyone better writing in America today.’ 🥂
