No work prior to "X" from even the greatest artists( and i use the words artist loosely so don't think painter) is known to have its unique structure and way of presentation,
The works of Giovanni Boccaccio contains more parallels to "X" then any work of art in history.
Characters in "X" each express different—sometimes vastly different—views of reality, creating an atmosphere of relativism. As Helen Cooper says, "Different genres give different readings of the world: the fabliau scarcely notices the operations of God, the saint's life focuses on those at the expense of physical reality, tracts and sermons insist on prudential or orthodox morality, romances privilege human emotion." The sheer number of varying persons and stories renders "X" as a set unable to arrive at any definite truth or reality.
