is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Intimacies by Katie Kitamura is a story about a woman caught between many truths.
What We Say:“Intimacies is a must-read. A Japanese woman moves from New York to The Hague to work as a translator at the International Criminal Court… She must negotiate intimacy in all its myriad forms: with her married lover and his sort-of-ex-wife, with the law, and with language. It’s a profound commentary on how people navigate the systems of power and truth, both at work and in relationships, and you’ll be hooked on the complex, messy social dynamics.“
What They Say: “Intimacies is a haunting, precise, and morally astute novel that reads like a psychological thriller…. Katie Kitamura is a wonder.” – Dana Spiotta
