![]() In 1992, Lucca herself had been instructed by X to discourage Theodore Smith, an interested biographer. Lucca calls her shame well-earned because she knows X thought being written about biographically was an insult to the way she’d chosen to live. ‘I cannot explain my wife or myself for even a moment longer and I confess all this now, full of well-earned shame that I should have known better than to have even tried to explain even a minute of her life,’ Lucca thinks as she runs out of the installation her wife was working on when she died. ![]() ![]() Lucca is also the author of a book called Biography of X, as well as being the widow of the polymathic artist called X (1945-96) who is its subject, a mercurial female genius who wrote novels, produced music and made art of various kinds, her career capped by a MoMA retrospective. Lucca, the writer created by Catherine Lacey to narrate her fourth novel, Biography of X, at least has the guts to admit the problem. Have you ever tried to write down the thoughts, the emotions, the memories that bubble up in a person over sixty seconds where she is what she’s wearing what she can smell, taste and hear who she’s with what she’s saying not to mention what contribution this 0.069 per cent of a day is making to the meaning of her life? C.M. T he problem with biography is that it’s impossible. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() As she examines them, she attempts to answer this question: “How should the knowledge that God is _ change the way I live?” In other words, what measurable change should occur as a result of meditating on God’s unique attributes? Further, she means to show how we, as human beings, treat the first list. But even more so, it is her focus: She focuses entirely on the first group, the traits that are true of God alone. Partly it is audience, since her book is written by a woman for women. These attributes have already been the subject of many books, with luminaries like Charnock, Pink, Sproul, and Tozer writing excellent works on them. In the second group, communicable attributes, they place holy, loving, just, merciful, and so on. In the first group, his incommunicable attributes, they place infinite, incomprehensible, eternal, omnipotent, and several more. Theologians tend to make two lists of attributes, dividing them by those that are unique to God and those that he has given to other creatures. God’s attributes are his traits, his qualities.

KSI celebrates victory in the cruiserweight bout against FaZe Temperrr in London earlier this year. And that evening, most of all, they wanted to see KSI box. They’d heard about Prime, the drink that KSI helped launch in the UK and that was so in demand some shops charged £20 ($37) a bottle.
