Who Are We, Really?
This is an edition of the Books Briefing, our editors' weekly guide to the best in books. Sign up for it here. If someone had no relationships—no colleagues to appease, no parents to make proud, no lovers to impress—how might they behave? With those interactions removed, would you be able to glimpse, as Jordan Kisner wrote in our May issue, an 'authentic, independent self'? The author Katie Kitamura, whose new novel, Audition, is the subject of Kisner's essay, isn't sure. As she said in a recent interview, 'When you take away all of the role-playing, all of the performance, what is left?' It could be someone free and real, or it could be 'a profoundly raw, destabilized, possibly non-functioning self.' Audition, as Kisner notes, is part of a recent subgenre of literature that explores this very question. The book is the last installment of a loose, thematically connected trilogy from Kitamura; it follows a nameless actor who reveals very little of herself, instead conveying the words, identities, and stories of the characters she plays. First, here are three new stories from The Atlantic's Books section: The comic-book artist who mastered space and time The new king of tech A love-hate letter to technology Though we don't know much about the main character, her gender is crucial to the story: Women, Kisner argues, are frequently defined by their roles, as mothers, say, or wives, before being appreciated as individuals. Kisner identifies a number of books that imagine a woman who is 'extracted from her core relational ties.' Protagonists in, for example, Rachel Cusk's Outline trilogy, Jenny Offill's Dept. of Speculation, and Ottessa Moshfegh's My Year of Rest and Relaxation seem somewhat vacant and alienated from the people around them. In many instances, readers don't know their names or the basics of their backstories. Even the characters themselves, Kisner observes, seem unsure of who they really are. Audition fits firmly in this new tradition. At some point, its protagonist realizes that despite their domestic routines, she and her family have been doing nothing more than 'playing parts.' This moment, Kisner writes, is a key turning point that dispels 'any illusion that intimacy is possible': If there's no such thing as an authentic self, then how can a connection between two people be anything more than an act? Even if our identities are defined by our relationships, and even if those relationships can feel rote or false, I feel more convinced than Kitamura that we each have a unique, singular core. Accessing it might, however, require carving out time for certain pursuits that are ours and ours alone: perhaps experiencing or creating art, seeing new places or wandering around one's own city, dedicating oneself to work or even to a quiet moment of reflection. And although the books Kisner considers tend to eschew this inner self, other recent fiction demonstrates how to access and nurture it. Rosalind Brown's novel, Practice, which came out last year, is in some ways the opposite of the books Kisner writes about: The character at the center is rendered not in relation to others but on her own, as a student at work (in her case, an essay on Shakespeare's sonnets). Where Kitamura uses her protagonist's vocation as a means of stripping away her sense of self, Brown does the opposite. Her narrator luxuriates in her labor, and as we watch her ruminate, muse, and savor the writing of others, we learn a lot about who she is too. Who Needs Intimacy? By Jordan Kisner Influential novelists are imagining what women's lives might look like without the demands of partners and children. Read the full article. , by Fanny Howe The collection Radical Love includes five novels by Howe, all of which deal with different interpretations of devotion or, as Howe puts it in the introduction to the 2006 edition, 'religious experience.' Inside is Famous Questions, which is about love as a destructive, spiritual force—about how it splits people apart in the name of bringing people together. It begins with Roisin and Kosta, partners who are raising Roisin's son, Liam, and living with Kosta's mother. They impulsively pick up a young, pretty hitchhiker who tells them her name is Echo. This leads to a sharp and humid love triangle, in which Roisin must deal with her own warmth toward Echo while watching Kosta fall for her, until the plot crests through a breathtaking act of betrayal. The questions Howe asks are classic for good reason: Can anyone ever let anyone else in, really? And once they have, can they let go? The last lines provide a kind of answer that might take someone a lifetime to understand and express—that the only reassurance two people can give each other is that they share a story, and to agree on what that story means. — Haley Mlotek From our list: Seven books that capture how love really feels 📚 Fugitive Tilts, by Ishion Hutchinson 📚 Vanishing World, by Sayaka Murata 📚 Lost at Sea, by Joe Kloc Why I Played the Kennedy Center By Ryan Miller As our Kennedy Center dates approached, the headlines stayed tumultuous. The juggernaut musical Hamilton announced that it was canceling its 2026 run at the venue. Others remained steadfast. Conan O'Brien received the Mark Twain Prize at the Kennedy Center and gave a moving speech that toed the line of defiance, humor, and poignance. 'Twain hated bullies,' he said, 'and he deeply, deeply empathized with the weak.' The comic W. Kamau Bell, who performed at the venue shortly after Trump announced his takeover, wrote about the experience, noting that it was his job to 'speak truth to power.' And like Bell, my bandmates and I understood why other artists were continuing to cancel their performances. But he, O'Brien, and others demonstrated that there is more than one way to stand up for what you believe. Read the full article.

Kevin Kisner makes first cut in 2025, will play the weekend at Valspar Championship
Kevin Kisner makes first cut in 2025, will play the weekend at Valspar Championship "It's been awesome partnership so far," Kisner said of his relationship with NBC while still playing some PGA Tour events. Kevin Kisner is working this weekend but not for NBC. Kisner rebounded from a 3-over 74 on Thursday to post three second-nine birdies and shoot 3-under 68 on Friday to make the cut at the 2025 Valspar Championship. It's his first made cut in four outings this season. The 68 was his second round in the 60s out of nine total rounds so far. He's at even par overall, tied for 40th at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook in Palm Harbor, Florida. "You always want to make the weekend for sure, especially when you haven't made one all year, so you got to pop the top there, so I was able to do that, but I like the way my game's trending more than making the cut, so two more days of competition, getting some good reps in and I'm going to play a bunch right after the Masters, so looking forward to more solid play and less talking about it," he said Friday. The four-time PGA Tour winner was named lead analyst for NBC Sports ahead of the 2025 season but has arrangements with the network where he'll play some events and if he makes the cut, he plays more golf that week but if he misses the cut, he trades the clubs in for a headset to join Dan Hicks in the booth. This week, however, NBC tapped Gary Koch, who lives in the Tampa area, for analyst duties all week. "I'm calling next week for NBC and then playing Valero and so then I'm off until the U.S. Open," he said of his next few weeks while confirming he'll be back on TV for the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open. "Valero, maybe, if I don't make the cut, I'll call again, but they're so cool, they're like 'we'll figure it out either way,' so it's been awesome partnership so far," Kisner said.
