If the "writing" had any value whatsoever, this nauseating hoax to generate false sympathy for a liar and a fraud would never have been necessary. She ought to share a cell with Greg Mortenson--another hack writer with zero talent or morals but a very lucrative a get-rich-quick scheme.

It seems like it's typical american to care about if it's real or not; if it's good art - who cares?

I just finished her autobiography that she wrote about playing JT. and honestly, as much as I felt bitter toward the whole hoax, I really fell in love with her. Savannah is as beautiful a person as the character that she played. And laura is a brilliant writer. They both should be getting a lot more credit; just because it was fiction does not make the writing any less brilliant.

fiction is fiction. get over it.... the writing is amazing.

It's interesting Laura Albert hired a woman to play JT LeRoy (I know Savannah is related to her) but it would have been much more convincing to have a man in his early twenties take on the role. As JT it seems like she's too "aware" of her acting, it comes off more as phoniness instead of nervousness. However I still think the book deserves merit in its own right.

ahaha, I get believe people actually bought it. Her interpretation is so over the top, looking at the face of that guy is pretty funny now that everybody knows the story.

I think this whole issue (and the movie) is really interesting, but I find it sort of amazing that this worked.
