Memory in Story - with Mark Scarbrough In-Person
What role does memory play in four novels spanning the last four decades? We will read authors from the Netherlands, England, the US, and Bulgaria, who wrestle with both the burden and sanctuary of recollection. How do these narratives navigate the space between myth and memory? Be prepared for a lively discussion.
Katie Kitamura, AUDITION (2025) - Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She’s an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He’s attractive, troubling, young—young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? 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.
