The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things
The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things | J.T. LeRoy
3 posts | 12 read | 6 to read
A series of loosely connected autobiographical stories, they describe the disturbing relationship between a mother and her adolescent son as she moves from lover to lover, dressing him as a girl and forcing him to shoplift. These are shocking stories of abusive love and dysfunctional sexuality, of heartbreak and of innocence lost. Once again, LeRoy's fantastical imagination and lyricism twists his haunted past into something utterly strange and magical.

Just saw the film AUTHOR: The JT LeRoy story. This author "hoax" is still unbelievably fascinating to me all these years later. What do you think? Is Laura Albert a criminal and fraud, an artist, all of the above?

Julsmarshall I don't know anything about this story, I'll have to check it out! 8y

Well-ReadNeck What?! I don't know this story. Added to my list!!!!! 8y
tkmadden @Well-ReadNeck the book itself isn't the JT LeRoy story, it's just one of the books "JT LeRoy" became famous for writing. Read the wiki and articles surrounding the scandal - endlessly fascinating ! 8y
tkmadden @Julsmarshall @Well-ReadNeck here's a good one: http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/features/14718/ 8y
