SUMMARY:Tea and Conversation: Katie Kitamura
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for the Grace M. Hunt Memorial English Reading Room Writers Series: \nTea and Conversation with Katie Kitamura \nKatie Kitamura will discuss her writing. \nThis event is followed by Some Favorite Writers: Katie Kitamura at the Hammer Museum at 7:30pm. Visit the Hammer Museum for full details. \nBoth events are free and open to the public. \nShortlisted for the Booker Prize 2025\, Katie Kitamura’s most recent novel Audition asks who we are to the people we love. 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 most intimately. \nCalled “…one of America’s best contemporary writers\,” by the BBC\, Kitamura has work translated into 21 languages and in adaptations for film and television. Her novel Intimacies was one of the New York Times’ 10 Best Books of 2021\, was longlisted for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award\, and was a finalist for the Joyce Carol Oates Prize. It was also one of Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2021. \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu
