JT Leroy
Fictional memoirs can be confusing at times, especially if the character describing their “life story” comes across as wholly believable. This is the case with JT Leroy and the hit 90’s novel, The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things. Years later, people found out that he was a fictional creation from a woman called Laura Albert, who wrote as if she was Leroy the entire time. This was an easier way for her to get published at the time, so she took up the offer.
