The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things

I'm a hypocrite for not really caring that J.T. LeRoy was a hoax and the real author of this book was some middle-aged woman with some very probable mental health issues, because I am against books such as 'Go Ask Alice' and 'The Amityville Horror' that operate on the same premise.
But, I really was compelled by the psychological portrait drawn in these stories, sad and twisted at that portrait might be. I can't remember the woman's name, but she is a decent writer and she has to be given some kudos for pulling off a hoax like that in this heavy information age.
