“I’d slipped into a vein of hozho somehow. There was no end to the beauty. It seemed to attract itself, and I got to be the witness. The goodness of people wasn’t so shocking anymore – it was natural. What was shocking, however, was the juxtaposition of this goodness to all the suffering that surrounded it.” 
"Walking to Listen" by Andrew Forsthoefel

Andrew shares his remarkable journey of walking the United States from east to west using his authentic language of humor and humility encompassed through an innocent lens of love. His story is pure proof of the law of attraction and if you know, you know. Andrew Forsthoefel takes a walk through each state from Pennsylvania to California with not only the help of Walt Whitmans (Leaves of Grass), Rainer Maria Rilkes (Letters to a Young Poet) and Kahlil Gibrans (The Prophet) famous words of hope and inspiration but with the intention of trusting in the good of humanity. I’m a sucker for reading a story along a timeline, following a direction, in search of finding purpose, but maybe, just maybe, the plot twist here is, nothing's ever linear and/or as expected.

Perhaps it's best that I more or less went into Audition blind. I'd never read Kitamura before and picked this up on a whim. Her taut, crisp writing style hooked me immediately. I can tell you that this novel concerns a middle aged, married actress living in New York who may have a son. That is all I can say with certainty. This could be a family drama, a story of mental fracture, an exercise in performance, a psychological thriller or something altogether different. Reality is slippery here. Kitamura has stated that she wanted the story to be open ended. So, choose your own adventure here. Kitamura may have written something (dare I say it?) original.
