Author: The JT LeRoy Story

I'll make this short but sweet.

A forty-year old straight woman wrote a couple of wonderful and beloved works of fiction.

She was subsequently accused of "manipulating the system" by posing as a young, gay male.

The fact is, those much beloved books probably never would have seen the light of day had she not take the route that she did.

And as a writer, that makes me madder than anything.
