Savannah Knoop, the girl behind the boy in front of the other girl, reads from her new book, Girl Boy Girl, at Book Soup tonight.
She's the real J.T. LeRoy, who isn't real at all. Knoop played the part of the fictional LeRoy, and has written a book that tells all, or at least all that she can tell. And tell she does--dining with Gus Van Sant and sleeping with Asia Argento.
Her sister-in-law Laura Albert invented LeRoy, wrote the books, and coaxed Knoop to put on the silver wig, but predictably isn't pleased about the book.
If you're still confused, Stephen Beachy explained it all back in 2005. Bookslut interviewed LeRoy in 2003, and we're guessing it was a phoner.
Nancy Rommelmann wrote about knowing LeRoy, er, Knoop, and Albert.
