GANADORA DEL PREMIO BROOKLYN LIBRARY, FINALISTA DEL DYLAN THOMAS Y EL PEN/FAULKNER, MEJOR LIBRO DEL A???O SEG???N LA REVISTA TIME Y UNO DE LOS MEJORES DEL A???O SEG???N THE NEW YORK TIMES , NEW YORKER O VANITY FAIR . ???Brillante, asombrosa???. -Chris Kraus ???Aunque puede que no cambie el mundo, cambiar??? al lector???. - The Guardian ???Una novela fundamental y enormemente audaz???. - The New York Times Cuando X --artista iconoclasta, escritora y hechicera de las apariencias-- cae muerta en su oficina, su mujer, CM, enloquecida por el dolor y rechazando los consejos de su entorno, se lanza a escribir una biograf???a de la mujer a la que endios???, pero de la que ignora incluso d???nde naci???. Reconocida como una fuerza creativa crucial de su ???poca, X mantuvo un f???rreo control sobre la historia de su vida. En su af???n por averiguar ese misterioso pasado, su viuda se sumergir??? en la historia del Territorio del Sur, teocracia fascista que se separ??? del resto de Estados Unidos tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial y que en la actualidad se ve obligada a una dif???cil reunificaci???n. A medida que CM va comprendiendo el alcance art???stico de la mujer a la que am???, abrir??? una caja de Pandora de secretos, traiciones y destrucci???n. Llena de suspense e inteligencia, Biograf???a de X se adentra en las profundidades del dolor, el arte y el amor. En su novela m???s ambiciosa, Lacey se consolida como ???una de las novelistas m???s intr???pidas del momento??? ( Los Angeles Times ) y lleva su arte al m???s alto nivel con la creaci???n de un personaje inolvidable que muestra en su absorbente misterio las grietas de las historias que fabricamos sobre nosotros mismos. ???Es bastante raro que una novela sea enormemente inteligente, conmovedora y divertida a partes iguales, pero con Biograf???a de X , Catherine Lacey consigue de alg???n modo -como por arte de magia- que lo casi imposible parezca f???cil???. Lauren Groff ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Named one of the Ten Best Books of 2023 by Time (#1) , Vulture, and Publishers Weekly , and one of the Best Books of 2023 by The New York Times , the New Yorker, NPR, the Los Angeles Times , Vanity Fair , Esquire, the Chicago Tribune , Kirkus , Lit Hub , and Amazon . National Bestseller. Winner of the 2024 Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction and the 2023 Brooklyn Library Prize, a finalist for the Dylan Thomas Prize, and longlisted for the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award. A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. "A major novel, and a notably audacious one." Dwight Garner, The New York Times From one of our fiercest stylists, a roaring epic chronicling the life, times, and secrets of a notorious artist. When X an iconoclastic artist, writer, and polarizing shape-shifter falls dead in her office, her widow, CM, wild with grief and refusing everyone's good advice, hurls herself into writing a biography of the woman she deified. Though X was recognized as a crucial creative force of her era, she kept a tight grip on her life story. Not even CM knows where X was born, and in her quest to find out, she opens a Pandora's box of secrets, betrayals, and destruction. All the while, she immerses herself in the history of the Southern Territory, a fascist theocracy that split from the rest of the country after World War II, and which finally, in the present day, is being forced into an uneasy reunification.
