A timely reissue of the extraordinary stories by JT LeRoy/Laura Albert that won international acclaim, to be timed with the theatrical release of the documentary Author: The JT LeRoy Story. 'A startling achievement' Publishers Weekly This book of interconnected stories depicts the chaotic life of a young boy on the run with his teenage mother. When Sarah reclaims Jeremiah from his foster parents, he finds himself catapulted into her world of motels and truck stops, exposed to the abusive, exploitative men she encounters. As he learns to survive in this harrowing environment, Jeremiah also learns to love his mother, even as she descends into drug-fueled madness. Told in spare, lyrical prose, rich with imagination and dark humor, The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things transforms the savagery of Jeremiah's world into an indelible experience of compassion. This special edition includes an additional seven stories, previously uncollected, by JT LeRoy, the literary persona of Laura Albert.

after watching the movie, which is one of my favorites, i found out this was originally a book. after reading not even half of the book i had to put it down and walk away, it was much more intense than i had figured it would be. a lot of rape, so beware. maybe just watch the movie instead...

Great Book!
What ever the controversy about the author this book is a page turner. I love the journalistic style, the way the story comes to life with out weighing the prose down. I liked it so much it has me searching out more writing by J.T. Leroy. I would and have reccomended it to friends and family and they all agree.
