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 .

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. A masterfully constructed literary adventure complete with original images assembled by X's widow, Biography of X
