Summary:  "In January 2006, The New York Times unmasked Savannah Knoop as the face of the mysterious transsexual author JT LeRoy who wrote the novels Sarah and The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things. A media frenzy ensued as JT s fans, mentors, and readers came to terms with the fact that the gay-male-ex-truck-stop-prostitute-turned-literary-wunderkind was really a girl from San Francisco, whose middle-aged sister-in-law, Laura Albert, wrote the books. How Savannah led this bizarre double life for six years, trading a precarious existence as an eighteen-year-old college dropout for a life in which she was embraced by celebrities and artists including Carrie Fisher, Courtney Love, Mary Ellen Mark, Winona Ryder, Asia Argento, Sharon Olds, Gus Van Sant, Mike Pitt, Calvin Klein and Shirley Manson and traveled the world. Savannah reveals how being perceived as a boy gave her a sense of confidence and entitlement she never had before. Her love affair with Asia Argento is particularly wrenching, as they embark on an intimate relationship that causes more alienation than closeness. As Savannah and Laura struggle over control of the Jeremiah 'Terminator' LeRoy character, Savannah realizes the limits of the game, and is relieved when it's over. The adventure of being someone else."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Memoirs.
