Since the death of his wife seven years ago, documentary maker Aoyama has not dated anyone else. Now even his teenage son, Shige, thinks that he should remarry and his best friend Yoshikawa comes up with a plan: to hold fake film auditions from which, he can choose a new bride. Of the thousands who apply, it is a beautiful ballerina, Yamasaki Asami, who captivates Aoyama. Infatuated by her fragile nature and nervous smile, he ignores his increasing sense of unease, putting aside his doubts about his new love, until it may be too late…
In Audition, Ryu Murakami delivers his most subtly disturbing novel yet, confirming him as Japan's master of the psycho-thriller.

    💀Spooky

    I don't think this book is amazing, but it was really fun to read something that became a classic movie later. I liked it and finished in just one day :)

    The last chapter really terrified me. Felt like I was in sleep paralysis. Great read!

Quotes

    That’s what violence was: emotion leaking out from consciousness into the physical world, linking up with the muscles of the arms and shoulders and diaphragm and, inevitably, the face.
  • Corinahas quoted3 years ago
    And nothing in this world ever looked more deliciously lascivious than that vagina of hers,
  • Corinahas quoted3 years ago
    Where had she learned such technique? Were moves like this in the repertoire of all young women these days? Or was it only because of her stunning beauty, and the intensity of his desire for her, that her touch seemed so excruciatingly sensual?
