The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things by J.T. LeRoy
2.0
First thoughts: okay cool a little raw but shit what a life crazy right?
After two chapters and Googling author: fuck this book. What seemed like a somehow detached emotionality was actually tone deaf misery porn. Was "JT" making a point about modern obsession with trauma and voyeuristic abuse fetishism, or did she just want to sell some books and play out her own beautiful dark twisted fantasy on readers and glitzies alike? Honestly I don't give a shit because that might have played in the 90s but after years of irony and abuse sharing the twitter timeline with no monetary incentive I think I'll take the 280 over this waste of paper.
