Author: The JT LeRoy Story plot

In 2006, The New York Times shocked the literary world when it exposed "prodigy" JT LeRoy, whose gritty prose about a wicked childhood had captivated icons and celebrities internationally. As it turned out, LeRoy didn't really exist. He was the creative expression of 40-year-old former San Francisco phone sex operator Laura Albert. This housewife plunges the viewer into a glittering world of rock shows and fashion events, ultimately revealing that channeling her brilliant fiction through another identity was the only possible path to self-expression.
