Audition
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- His three horror novels are *Audition*, *Piercing*, and *In the Miso Soup*. *Audition* is definitely the most well-known because of the movie adaptation
- Audition
- I enjoyed Audition, Loneliness & Flashlight. I think Audition may be my favourite, because of how well it's written. I didn't have to care about the plot, the prose carried me onwards.
- I think Audition will likely win. I have loved Katie Kitamura's writing for a while so I would be delighted if she wins.
- My pick would be Audition, followed by either Flesh or The Land in Winter. I thought the writing in Audition was sublime and the concept was interesting without being drawn out.
Cons
- There is a story in Michael Shurtleff’s *Audition* about Barbra Streisand early in her career:
- Audition not meaty enough or nearly as clever as it was trying to be IMO
- and I also disliked Audition
- Audition. Read nothing in advance.

Audition. Read nothing in advance.
The movie Audition is my go-to example for this... If it is marketed as romance, they are right to review it poorly, even if it's a great flick overall.
