National Bestseller. Winner of the 2023 Brooklyn Library Prize and longlisted for the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Dylan Thomas Prize. A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice. “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, 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 follows CM as she 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. At last, 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 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.

Book excerpt: I wrote Growing Up In Grace to encourage you through some of life's highs and lows, help you keep your eyes on God, and live out the plans He has for you. In Growing Up In Grace, my friends and I share our experiences through the lenses of faith, revealing how there is more to life than simply getting by. We have a God who knows us, loves us, and cares for us. He sent His son to die for us. That means He can cleanse us from our sin so we can live an abundantly blessed life-even through the challenges we face as teenagers. Growing up is a challenge, but when we live in the grace God calls us into, we can live differently. His grace gives us peace in hard times, joy every day, and the ability to spark change all around us. I have walked through family troubles, a season of recklessness, body shame, and more. Chelsea and Reagan walk us through some of their own struggles like jealousy and learning how to trust God's timing. Running to the Lord with these things is so freeing, even if we're still battling them. God gives us strength to continue fighting. He has many promises for you that you can start believing right now. Let's grow in His grace, together.
