Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The extraordinary stories that brought the author a cult following at the age of sixteen. These are the stories of a young boy on the run, away from his past, hellbent towards an unknown future. Connected, they form a sometimes harrowing, sometimes bleakly funny, and often tender portrait of a complicated life. Like a modern-day Voltaire, LeRoy bounces his characters from adventure to adventure, each of them unyielding in the belief that the best of all possible worlds lies just around the next corner. Fresh, raw, and absolutely unforgettable, The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things has further established the acclaimed author of Sarah as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary fiction. Review:"A fascinating book, a book that instantly stirs the emotions and involves the readers in the lives of the people. It did not take long for the judgments to come fast and furious. That's what can be so deceitful about this book: you get so caught up in the circumstances and lives of the people you can easily overlook the quality of the writing, which is exceptional. One of the reasons this book is so powerful and effective is because it is beautifully structured and written. JT LeRoy should have a most remarkable future as a writer." Hubert Selby, Jr. author of Requiem for a Dream Review:"Good Lord, what a book! JT LeRoy's writing is savagely authentic and appallingly beautiful. They don't make 'em like this anymore. He's a born writer." John Waters director of Pink Flamingos Review:"Extraordinarily, Leroy manages to lace this horrific story with tenderness and humour. Not for the fainthearted, these few raw pages constitute a breathtaking debut." Guardian About the AuthorJT LeRoy was born in 1980. He is the author of the novel Sarah. First published at the age of sixteen, he has also written article and stories for Spin, Nerve, NY Press, The Stranger, and several anthologies, under the pseudonym Terminator.
