Catherine Lacey: Alternate States

‘A Russian doll of a book’ is how the Financial Times described Catherine Lacey’s Biography of X, a novel disguised in biographical form, riven with complexity and intrigue. When ‘X’, an iconoclastic artist dies suddenly, her grief-stricken widow begins to realise how little she knew about the woman she loved. Lacey joins us to discuss this thrilling, counterfactual, and dystopian adventure with Heather Parry.
