An autobiographical reckoning with family memory, the fate of a plot of land and the history of photography, all tangled with the letter X. Odette Elix England first met photography, and the letter X, as a child on her family's 200-acre dairy farm in Southern Australia, watching her sharecropping father make SX-70 Polaroids of cattle each spring. Full of free-associative factoids, humour and philosophical tangents, her ambling ten-chapter tale is a meditation on the blind spots of personal narrative and on the functions and limits of photography in a creative life.
