BLURBS ABOUT JT LEROY BOOKS: “LeRoy demonstrates how devastating a few carefully chosen words can be.” San Francisco Chronicle “An eyewitness's imagination burns in his language, which is lyrical and as vivid as a match held close to the face.” The New York Times "It is stunning. Holy s..t, it is great. I read almost all of it on the plane home from DC, and was mesmerized. Could not stop.… damned perfect book!" Dave Eggers "Likes hordes of others, I bob behind the parade float of the invisible J.T. LeRoy, and stand at the ready to see what he wears, hear what he sings, read what he writes. This is another great offering from his singular ouvre." Mary Karr
