A serious experiment on how form shapes truth; Nabokov would be proud.

A novel presented as the biography of a reclusive, infamous artist—told by her widow, who is both insider and unreliable witness. Biography of X builds a parallel America through archival fragments, interviews, photographs, and speculation, using the apparatus of nonfiction to examine intimacy, power, myth-making, and the violence of public life.

The book moves between cultural criticism and emotional reckoning, asking what it means to narrate a life when evidence is partial and unresolved.
