英文简介:
Named a Best Book of March by Apple Books and Amazon, and a Most Anticipated Book by The New York Times, Esquire, The Guardian, TIME, Buzzfeed, Electric Literature, Lit Hub and Chicago Review of Books “A major novel, and a notably audacious one.
” –Dwight Garner, The New York Times “It feels fairly rare for a novel to be hugely intelligent and moving and fun in equal measure, but with Biography of X, Catherine Lacey somehow–magically–makes the nearly impossible look easy.
” –Lauren Groff 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, 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, her wife, knew where X had been 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, as it is finally, in the present day, forced into an uneasy reunification.
A masterfully constructed literary adventure complete with original images assembled by X’s widow, Biography of X follows a grieving wife seeking to understand the woman who enthralled her.
CM traces X’s peripatetic trajectory over decades, from Europe to the ruins of America’s divided territories, and through her collaborations and feuds with everyone from Bowie and Waits to Sontag and Acker.
And when she finally understands the scope of X’s defining artistic project, CM realizes her wife’s deceptions were far crueler than she imagined.
Pulsing with suspense and intellect while blending nonfiction and fiction, Biography of X is a roaring epic that plumbs the depths of grief, art, and love.
In her most ambitious novel yet, Catherine Lacey, one of our most acclaimed literary innovators, pushes her craft to its highest level, introducing us to an unforgettable character who, in her tantalizing mystery, shows us the fallibility of the stories we craft for ourselves.
中文简介:
被 Apple Books 和亚马逊评为 3 月最佳图书，被纽约时报、Esquire、卫报、时代周刊、Buzzfeed、Electric Literature、Lit Hub 和芝加哥书评评为最受期待的图书大胆的一个。
” ——德怀特·加纳，《纽约时报》 “ ——劳伦·格罗夫 (Lauren Groff) 来自我们最凶猛的造型师之一，这是一部轰轰烈烈的史诗，记录了一位臭名昭著的艺术家的生活、时代和秘密。
当 X——一位反传统的艺术家、作家和两极分化的变形者——在她的办公室里死去时，她的遗孀悲痛欲绝，拒绝了所有人的好建议，开始为她所崇拜的女人写一本传记。
尽管 X 被认为是她所在时代的重要创造力，但她仍牢牢把握自己的人生故事。
甚至她的妻子 CM 都不知道 X 出生在哪里，为了寻找答案，她打开了一个充满秘密、背叛和毁灭的潘多拉魔盒。
一直以来，她都沉浸在南领地的历史中，这是一个在二战后从该国其他地区分裂出来的法西斯神权政体，如今终于被迫重新统一。
X 的传记是一部精心构建的文学冒险作品，由 X 的遗孀收集了原始图像，讲述了一位悲伤的妻子试图了解那个让她着迷的女人的故事。
CM 追溯了 X 几十年来的游历轨迹，从欧洲到美国分裂领土的废墟，以及她与从鲍伊和威兹到桑塔格和阿克的每个人的合作和不和。
当她终于了解 X 的决定性艺术项目的范围时，CM 意识到她妻子的欺骗远比她想象的残忍。
《X 传》充满悬念和智慧，同时融合了非小说和小说，是一部探索悲伤、艺术和爱情深处的咆哮史诗。
在她迄今为止最雄心勃勃的小说中，凯瑟琳莱西，我们最受赞誉的文学创新者之一，将她的手艺推向了最高水平，向我们介绍了一个令人难忘的角色，她在她诱人的神秘中向我们展示了我们为自己编写的故事的错误性.
