Catherine Lacey

Catherine Lacey (US), one of America’s most daring and original writers, will be interviewed about her latest book Biography of X.

When X, a groundbreaking artist, drops dead in her office, her widow throws herself into writing a biography of the woman she idolized, but barely knew. In her search for X’s past, she uncovers not only a chilling part of history, but also that X’s deceptions ran far deeper than she could ever have imagined.

Catherine Lacey’s work has received numerous awards. She has published in The New York Times, The Paris Review, and The Atlantic. She lives in Mexico City.
