Recenzii

Praise for The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things and JT LeRoy:
“Strong, fierce, hard…astonishing.” — Kirkus Reviews
“An eyewitness’s imagination burns in his language, which is not lyrical but as vivid as a match held close to the face.” — New York Times
The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things [has] grit, tragedy, and power. The force of the story continues to exist, and I don’t think it matters who is or isn’t anymore. — Lit Hub
“LeRoy’s work is a startling achievement in his accelerating mastery of the literary form.” — Publishers Weekly
“LeRoy manages to write simply about the most tangled of emotions -- and to describe, without hatred or self-pity, the most monstrous of deeds.” — Newsweek
