Synopsis "Audition "

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.

Ryū Murakami (村上龍) is a Japanese writer and film director born in Sasebo (Nagasaki) on February 19, 1952. His real name is Murakami Ryunosuke (村上龍之介?). Due to the surname coincidence with Haruki Murakami, in the eighties it was common to talk about the "two Murakamis", although they are not related and do not share much in literary terms.

His novels are often characterized by the rawness in descriptions and the violence of the narrated situations. Having lived near a U.S. military base in his native Sasebo allowed him to deeply understand American culture and idiosyncrasies. His most famous works are Almost Transparent Blue, from which Murakami directed its film adaptation,5 Miso Soup and Piercing.
