Intimacies is a novel about the ruthlessness of power, the check of
virtue, and the purportedly neutral bureaucracy meant to mediate
between them. Katie Kitamura is among the most brilliant and
profound writers at work today; she reminds me how high the moral
stakes of fiction can be.
*Garth Greenwell*
The thrill of Intimacies is in the taut precision of its language,
which rings and hums off the page. It's forensic and inquiring, but
also bright and alive. You forget to breathe while reading it, and
feel with each crafted sentence, each building thought, that you're
in the company of a magnificent writer.
*Samantha Harvey*
Katie Kitamura writes about being an outsider like no other author.
Quiet moments are charged with tension and power. In short, the
book is remarkable - beautifully written and intelligent.
*Avni Doshi*
Intimacies is a perfect novel-taut and seductive. Kitamura has made
the existential thriller all her own, and she effortlessly
negotiates the personal and the geopolitical with a complex moral
nuance. Simply stunning.
*Brandon Taylor*
Katie Kitamura's Intimacies - she's an incredible writer. It's
fiction and a really beautiful exploration of how we can live
everyday life while complete horrors and atrocities are happening
in the world - how both things coexist.
