Ryunosuke Akutagawa fue uno de los grandes escritores de Japón y una figura clave del turbulento periodo Taishō. Autor de relatos fundamentales como Rashōmon , vivió entre terremotos, crisis culturales y una profunda angustia personal que lo llevó al suicidio en 1927, a los treinta y dos años. Inspirándose en sus relatos, ensayos y cartas, David Peace construye en doce capÃtulos una novela fragmentaria, intensa y profundamente literaria. Paciente X es a la vez un homenaje apasionado y una indagación radical sobre la escritura, la identidad del autor y el precio de la creación artÃstica, enmarcada en una época histórica inquietantemente cercana a la nuestra.
Ryūnosuke Akutagawa was one of Japan's greatest writers and a defining figure of the turbulent Taishō period. Author of seminal stories such as Rashōmon, he lived through earthquakes, cultural upheaval, and profound personal anguish, ending his life in 1927 at the age of thirty-two. Drawing on Akutagawa's stories, essays, and letters, David Peace crafts a fragmented, intense, and deeply literary novel in twelve chapters. Patient X is both a passionate tribute and a radical exploration of writing, authorship, and the cost of artistic creation, set in a historical moment that feels unsettlingly close to our own.
