Sarah

"For a first novelist, J. T. LeRoy is astonishingly confident. His language turns the tawdriness of hustling into a world of lyrical and grotesque beauty, without losing any of its authenticity. One can clearly hear an Appalachian twang in his prose and, along with his gallows humor, the baroque religiosity of the south. In spite of Sarah's lack of sexual innocence, his language is always fresh, his soul never corrupt. His sweet and pure vision makes even the nastiest scenes bearable.LeRoy, J. T. is the author of 'Sarah', published 2000 under ISBN 9781582340760 and ISBN 1582340765.
