The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things by J.T. LeRoy Amazon | Goodreads
=====> Booksmith, San Francisco, hosted a visit from author, J.T. LeRoy aka Laura Albert. Two of Laura's book reprints have been released to coincide with a movie that gets into J.T.'s backstory. These stories were a hit when they were originally released and became noticed even more after Laura was revealed as the true author.
