Loved this, Alisha! I read Audition last week and loved its ambiguity. It’s been a while since I thought about a book so much after finishing it. Loved!

"literary metapuzzles" -- you've given me a term to use in book club when such reads come up in discussion! Great overview!

The last book i read that really made me think about community, about immigration, about our family threads was "Of Women and Salt" a Book by Gabriela Garcia. I highly recommend. It's a small but mighty book.

Thank you for this Alisha! I adore Katie Kitamura and your discussion of Audition was spot on! I wasn't sure what to make of it first then like you, re-read and it has been lingering in my mind (in a good way).
