Download Girl Boy Girl: How I Became JT LeRoy AudioBook Free

The JT LeRoy scandal is a story of your times. In January 2006, the New York Times unmasked Savannah Knoop as the face of the strange writer JT LeRoy. A media frenzy ensued as JT's lovers, mentors, and readers came to terms with the fact that the gay-male-ex-truck-stop-prostitute-turned literary-wunderkind really was a woman from SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, whose sister-in-law composed the books. Woman Boy Woman is the storyline of how Savannah Knoop led this bizarre two times life for six years, trading a precarious lifestyle as a university dropout for a life in which she was embraced by stars and painters - Carrie Fisher, Courtney Love, Mary Ellen Make, Winona Ryder, Asia Argento, Sharon Olds, Gus Vehicle Sant, Mike Pitt, Calvin Klein, and Shirley Manson, to name a few - and traveled the world. Informing her aspect of the storyline for the first time, Savannah reveals how being regarded as a boy offered her a feeling of assurance and entitlement she never had before. Her love affair with Asia Argento is specially wrenching, as they attempt an intimate relationship that causes more alienation than closeness. As Savannah and Laura have difficulty over control of the JT personality, Savannah realizes the boundaries of the game, and it is relieved if it is over. Inadvertently, she locates herself through the experience of being someone else.
