Katie Kitamura’s hypnotic new novel 'Intimacies' asks, What happens when your main character is a passive witness to her own life? magicmolly reports
Photo: Scott Semler/B) Scott Semler The novelist and art critic Katie Kitamura suggested we meet at David Zwirner gallery on 19th Street. She wanted to catch a show by Rose Wylie, an 86-year-old British artist who creates massive paintings inspired by pilgrims, Quentin Tarantino films, chocolate cookies, World War II, and other phenomena. A festively colored Baggu tote dangling from her wrist, Kitamura stood before a canvas that showed a giant crablike figure in a green sea.
Kitamura grew up in Northern California and after college moved to London, which she calls “the first place where I was a grown-up. First job. First apartment. First serious friendships. I miss it.” Although she now lives in Brooklyn, her last two novels have been set in Europe. To write Intimacies, Kitamura installed herself at the International Criminal Court for the trial of Laurent Gbagbo, a former president of Côte d’Ivoire who had been charged with crimes against humanity.
Kitamura’s husband is the novelist Hari Kunzru, and the couple live in Brooklyn with their two children. Over time, she and Kunzru have developed a vocational symbiosis: When one is close to finishing a book, they’ll hand it over to the other for feedback, which is delivered with “as cold an eye as possible.” They do this largely to prevent each other from “putting something ridiculous into the world” — an important function in a spouse — but also because it offers opportunities for reverence.
