''[[Kirkus Reviews]]'' dubbed ''The Book of X'' "A relentlessly original look at what it means to exist in a female body."<ref> Kirkus Reviews|language=en}}</ref> And the Minneapolis ''[[Star Tribune]]'''s review of the novel noted that "Etter writes her weird world with elastic prose, as stripped-down at certain points as it is lyrical in others."<ref></ref>
''The Book of X'' was selected to the Editors' Longlists for [[The Believer Book Awards]] in January 2020<ref></ref>.
Etter has also written extensively about visual art<ref></ref>, and a quote from [[Carol Rama]] serves as the epigraph for ''The Book of X''<ref></ref>.
