AUDITION. By Katie Kitamura. Riverhead Books. 208 Pages. $25. A woman meets a man half her age at a sleek Manhattan restaurant for lunch. Is he her lover or her son? If the former, then you might expect her to wield the power, like the character of Mrs. Robinson in “The Graduate,” Mike Nichols’ 1967 film about a young man who has an affair with one of his parents’ friends.

When Lytton Strachey set out to write “Eminent Victorians” in 1918, he sought to enliven the stuffy Victorian conventions of biographical writing by portraying his subjects with warts and all. In his new book “Eminent Jews,” David Denby pays tribute to that iconic work by choosing a similar-sounding title. This sly homage simultaneously serves as a kind of callback to Denby’s own 1996 best-seller, “Great Books,” about reading the literary canon of the Western world at Columbia University.

Vacation rental with the in-laws—for many, it’s a setup for disaster. For Weike Wang, it’s rich material for “Rental House,” a laugh-out-loud satire of American dysfunction. 👍 Read my review for @APEntertainment: https://t.co/hb6ws1mbOG #bookreviews #fiction #publishing #TBR https://t.co/MwxXbPZVqJ
