Who is the most famous Laura? It's not the one in Vanity Project! In our Actress Double Feature reprise all eyes are on birthday girl Laura Dern. Four-time Academy-Awarded Best Actress Katherine Hepburn once said: "Show me an actress who isn't a personality, and you'll show me a woman who isn't a star." But what of a Best Supporting Actress?The supporting material this week is the holey epic Inland Empire (2006), the late David Lynch's last feature, and confounding literary bio-flick JT Leroy (2018). What's in a name? Laura and Charles attempt naming the unnameable genius of facial contortionist Laura Dern. When was the Dernaissance exactly? With Dern's pre-historic Hollywood pedigree, she's fought worse Dinosaurs for years in Tinseltown!

Der junge Sexarbeiter JT LeRoy begeistert in den frühen 2000er Jahren die Literaturwelt. Seine düsteren Romane und seine tragische Lebensgeschichte machen ihn zum Star der queeren Szene. Hollywood-Regisseure reißen sich darum, seine Werke zu verfilmen, und die Prominenz feiert ihn als Stimme einer verlorenen Generation. Doch hinter der blonden Perücke und einer dunklen Sonnenbrille verbirgt sich ein Geheimnis. Ein Journalist nimmt die Fährte auf – und enthüllt eine verblüffende Wahrheit, die den Kult um JT LeRoy infrage stellt. Wer ist der Mensch hinter der Maske?Ein Hinweis: In dieser Folge geht es um Körperbilder, psychische Gesundheit und Suizid.Wenn es dir mit diesen Themen nicht gut geht, hör die Folge besser nicht oder nicht alleine an.

Fusk, fuffens och fifflande - är detta litteraturens kärna? Att bryta mot regelverket kan ha många fördelar, varesig det gäller pengar, att kontrollera sitt författarskap efter döden eller att skriva det oskrivbara. I årets sista avsnitt bjuder vi in Néa Sedell, doktorand i estetik, för en resa genom sexkantiga rum, Oprah Winfreys tv-soffa, gråzoner och bokmässans kanske märkligast betitlade författarsamtal. JT LeRoy, Maurice Blanchot, Pentti Saarikoski och Jorge Luis Borges med flera står på agendan. Må bästa fuskare vinna!

In what is something of a throwback episode nowadays, Neil hosted a screening of Jeff Feuerzig's film about Laura Albert [JT Leroy] as the opening event of the 2024 Falmouth Book Festival, recording the post-film conversation for the podcast. For the post-film chat Neil was joined by the director of Falmouth Book Festival, Colin Midson, who had a unique perspective on the story, as he was the publicist for JT Leroy's first book, Sarah, when it was released. If you haven't seen the film or don't know the story of JT Leroy, we recommend you watch it, or look up the story before listening, not because of spoilers because you know we don't engage with that stuff, but because the story is so wild and incredible, you may need the context to really appreciate the discussion this time out. Around the live event recording, Neil and Dario get into ethics, charisma, celebrity, the aesthetic of cassettes, Warhol, and much, much more in a really deep and far-ranging discussion about a fascinating film. Thank you to Colin for his candidness and invitation to do the event, and for the Poly in Falmouth for hosting so beautifully, as always. ___ If you haven't already, please consider becoming a subscriber to our Patreon channel: https://www.patreon.com/cinematologists We are expanding our output so if you enjoy the show and find value in the work, any support you can give would be very much appreciated.

This 2004 film tells the story of Jeremiah, a young boy who bounces in and out of the care of his drug-addicted neglectful mother and explores the trauma and hardship a developing mind experiences while living life on an unstable road. This film is based on the book with the same title written by JT Leroy. There's almost no drama or exciting facts regarding the backstory of the making of the film or the book whatsoever.

A inicios de los 2000, une trabajadore sexual de nombre JT Leroy se convierte en la sensación literaria. Sus novelas crudas y su trágica historia, le consiguen admiradores famosos como Courtney Love y Carrie Fisher, además del interés de cineastas como Gus Van Sant y Asia Argento. Pero hay algo que no cuadra del todo con la estrella literaria detrás de la peluca y los lentes oscuros. Y solo es cuestión de tiempo antes de que la gente descubra el gran secreto de JT: que es tan irreal como sus novelas.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ah, the late 1990s. Gritty realism ruled the day in film, music, and literature. And wunderkind JT Leroy took the book world by storm. A kid who survived the streets and HIV, he became the literary darling of the indie set. JT Leroy touched hearts and minds across the globe. Except JT Leroy wasn't all that he seemed. In fact, he wasn't anything he seemed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's episode of the Compendium, we dive into the wild world of JT Leroy, a name that took the literary scene by storm before turning it on its head. Join us as we pick apart how Laura Albert and Savannah Knoop spun the identity of a made-up boy-genius author, fooling the glitterati and bookworms alike. It's a story packed with scandal and a hoax that has us questioning everything about identity in the arts.In our chat, today we're not just telling a story; we're asking the big questions about what happens when the line between an author's true self and their fiction gets blurry. We'll get into the nitty-gritty of the JT Leroy literary scandal explained, stirring up everything from gender identity debates to the shockwaves the hoax sent through pop culture. So, buckle up—it's going to be a wild ride through one of the juiciest literary hoaxes ever.We give you the Compendium, but if you're itching for even more, dig into these rad reads and watches:"The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things" by JT Leroy"Girl Boy Girl: How I Became JT Leroy" by Savannah Knoop"Author: The JT Leroy Story" - Documentary"Sarah" by JT Leroy"The Cult of JT Leroy" by Marjorie Sturm“Who is the Real JT LeRoy?” New York Magazine Article by  Stephen BeachySupport the showConnect with Us:

In the early 2000s, an Appalachian-born sex worker named JT Leroy becomes a literary wunderkind. His gritty, buzzed-about novels and tragic backstory earn him celebrity fans like Courtney Love, Carrie Fisher, and Billy Corgan, and interest from filmmakers like Gus Van Sant and Asia Argento. But there's something that doesn't quite add up about the mysterious young author behind the blonde wig and dark sunglasses. And it's just a matter of time before people find out JT's big secret: He's just as fictional as his novels. This episode discusses body image, mental health, and suicide.

Well, our hard work has finally paid off. We somehow managed to get one miss Chloë Sevigny on the pod. Charles and Laura sit down with the one and only to discuss: what is she doing in Sydney? How did she learn French for her role in Demonlover? What did it feel like to give the first blowjob at Cannes?  In this EXCLUSIVE sit-down interview, we suffer the consequences of our compulsive and excessive fellatio discourse, complimented of course by a review of Sugondèse Film Festival, and the mythos and legend of the novel Sarah by JT Leroy.

On this edition of Parallax Views, noted Portland, OR radio personality Rick Emerson joins us to discuss the wild story of the controversial anti-drug book Go Ask Alice as explored in his book Unmask Alice: LSD, Satanic Panic, and the Imposer Behind the World's Most Notorious Diaries. In 1971, a book purporting to be the diaries of a teenage girl who fell into drug addiction through LSD swept the nation. In an age of growing concerns over teenage drug use, especially psychedelics, the book became a sensational success and has continuously remained in-print since that time. Questions about the authenticity of the book, credited to "Anonymous", arose and the truth about the book's actual author leads one to Beatrice Sparks, a conservative Mormon youth counselor who would later go on to fan fears about Satanism through the similarly-claimed-to-be-autobiographical-account-of-teen-trouble Jay's Journal. Rick and I will discuss the story of Go Ask Alice and the question of its authorship throughout the conversation on this episode as well as delving into the political climate of the 1970s, legendary TV personality Art Linkletter and the crusade against drugs in response to the 60s counterculture, the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, the TV movie version of Go Ask Alice starring Star Trek's William Shatner, why Go Ask Alice resonated with many youths who read the book, parents offended by Go Ask Alice subject matter and depiction of drug use, book banning and Go Ask Alice, the religious background and conservative Republican politics of Beatrice Sparks, the American press/media and Go Ask Alice, literary frauds and literary imposters, Richard Nixon and the War on Drugs, teenaged sex in Go Ask Alice and how that made the book scandalous, Go Ask Alice as the birth of the YA (Young Adult) novel, the infamous "Another day, another blowjob" line in the book, parental fears about the state of the youth reflected in Go Ask Alice, Go Ask Alice as sensationalistic anti-drug propaganda in the form of a "cautionary tale" (and why it may be more than that for many of the people that read it), Go Ask Alice as a book with a cult following today due to its camp quality, how Rick became interested in Go Ask Alice and the story behind it, the diary format of the book and the mystery/allure around the book being written by "Anonymous", Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane song "White Rabbit" with the line "Go Ask Alice", the teen suicide follow-up to Go Ask Alice entitled Jay's Journal, Go Ask Alice's protagonist as being a composite of people Beatrice Sparks treated as a counselor, the early advertising for Go Ask Alice, the early reviews of Go Ask Alice and the glowing New York Times review that treated it as an authentic diary without much skepticism, the question of whether Go Ask Alice is a good book (well-written vs. impactful to the reader), exploring Go Ask Alice in light of phenomena like fake news and right-wing conspiracy theories like QAnon and Pizzagate, how Jay's Journal helped create or accelerate the fears about Satanic cults and cult-related teen suicide, scapegoating and how books like Go Ask Alice and Jay's Journal can actually cause us to sweep the real causes of youth issues like adolescent mental health under the rug, the moral panic about Dungeons and Dragons being a tool of the devil of the 1980s, moral panics and the muzzling of child creativity, how lines from Go Ask Alice were recycled in later Beatrice Sparks books, why do literary hoaxes like Go Ask Alice and the JT Leroy books happen?, and much, much more! It's an amazing story that will lead us into discussion of politics, social mores, censorship, paranoia, moral panics, history, literary hoaxes, the War on Drugs, the tumultuous climate of the 1970s, and the struggles of being a teenager in America.

Mikhail Gorbachev's passing reminds Sarah of one of the strangest assignments of her career: Interviewing the man who presided over the end of the Cold War … about his luggage. Meanwhile, Nancy is apoplectic about an uptick in Portland violence, including a tragic and preventable murder over the weekend.But the crux of this week's episode is “Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist,” a two-hour Netflix documentary about the Manti Te'o catfishing scandal that hijacked the college linebacker's career and reputation. This was one hell of a hoax, raising questions about con artists, our capacity for belief, and love in the age of social media. Nancy sees similarities in literary hoax JT Leroy. Sarah sees similarities in that dude from OKCupid who kept her on the phone for hours but canceled every date. Also discussed: A NYT opinion column on “the myth of maternal instinct” that places ideology over biological realities. Recommendations from the Hot Box include a podcast combining hair metal and CIA intrigue as well as a great book on the writing life, but Sarah's ill-fated attempt to share an inspiring quote from that book includes the phrase “know your bone,” which goes over as expected ...

At the start of the millennium, Jeremiah Terminator Leroy or known simply as JT Leroy published his debut novel “Sarah”. Shortly afterwards, in 2001 a second book “The Heart is Deceitful Above all Things” was released to critical acclaim. As debuts go, Leroy's books became an instant hit on both sides of the pond, and by 2004 had been published in over 20 different languages. His voice encapsulated a generation of kids, many of whom lived on the margins of society; queers, punks, freaks and sex workers all found solace in Leroy's words - the content of which has been labelled as autobiographical transgressive fiction. Like all good stories, plot twists and character reveals are essential to the narrative arch, and this story is full of them....

It's the morning after the Super Flower Blood Moon, Sarah needs to pack for the Depp-Heard trial in Virginia, and Nancy's in a hotel bed in Austin, but first! More on Grey's Anatomy writer/fabulist Elisabeth Finch (in scrubs, above), who faked cancer (and a kidney transplant, and the suicide of her brother, and and and …) because “she loved the attention so much.” Sarah wonders why we're so fascinated by female con artists, especially ones who go down in flames, and if we're the suckers who are being taken in — or the ones being exposed.We bounce over to the Depp-Heard trial, where Sarah wonders — not for the first time — what if Amber is telling the truth? We've found two women who think so.The Joan Didion line Sarah couldn't recall: “Writers are always selling someone out.” (Not all writers!) (Well.) But Nancy's friend has a killer line of his own: “Online is the poison women were waiting for.” Thots?Nancy plans on taking you on a tour of Chinatown NYC for Smoke ‘Em's first true crime book-dealie (date TBA) on The Snakehead.

Sarah goes deep on the Duke lacrosse rape scandal — the complicated true story, the troubled woman who filed the claims, the abdication of due process, and the false narrative promoted by key figures including Duke faculty members calling themselves the “Group of 88.” The goal was to exact justice “regardless of the truth.” A bunch of preppy white athletes needed a historical comeuppance, though it didn't work out like that. “People who lie endorse lies,” Nancy suggests, before giving a big huzzah to a recent New Yorker piece asking why we valorize trauma and what happens when we do. In her own reporting, Nancy has seen how lies like that result in dead kids.Nancy engages in some mouth-frothing over the Fabulist of the Week, a writer on Grey's Anatomy who faked cancer for years, while Sarah shares a story about her run-in with New York Times fabulist Jayson Blair, and we bond over childhood fibbing: Nancy said she was related to the Osmonds, and Sarah told people she had a phone date with River Phoenix.

In the late 90's, JT LeRoy – a male teen sex worker turned-novelist – became an overnight literary sensation.  Publishing three bestselling books, LeRoy's electrifying work revealed a subversive American culture that had never before been explored.  Immediately, LeRoy was celebrated by Hollywood and the Literati.  The only problem was... JT didn't actually exist.  In 2005, a 39 year old woman by the name of Laura Albert was outed as being the real author.  Albert had employed her then sister-in-law Savannah Knoop to don a wig, fedora and dark sunglasses and portray the elusive author who was rising to fame.  Ever since New York Magazine declared it “the greatest literary hoax of the millennium”, Albert has been misunderstood by many.  As she completes her soon to be released memoir, we sat down with the author to discuss how trauma and survival informed her early work, and also how our evolving cultural understanding of gender identity has shifted the interpretation of JT LeRoy's legacy.   A note to our listeners:  This episode contains mature language and sensitive subject matter including child sexual abuse, negative body image, and eating disorders.  Discretion advised.

What's poppin' con-gregation? This week, Fortune Feimster joins us to discuss Laura Albert, an author who published a book under the pseudonym JT LeRoy. It wasn't discovered until years later that JT never really existed. Plus a 63-year-old Mississippi man is accused of being involved in a footbath scheme resulting in over $10 million in fake claims.

Widely considered the greatest literary hoax of modern times, the story of JT Leroy seems almost impossible to believe. Bursting onto the scene in 2001 with a bestselling book and heartbreaking life story, JT Leroy was a 20-year-old writing prodigy who quickly became the celebrity of the hour. He was photographed at A-List parties. Profiled in magazines. Gus Van Sant wanted to make a movie about him. Winona Ryder cried while giving a speech about him. The Smashing Pumpkins welcomed him backstage at their concerts. Madonna wanted him to join Kabbalah.  But JT Leroy didn't exist.  So who was this person? And how did they dupe not just Hollywood, but the entire world? (TW: although JT Leroy turned out to be a fiction, this episode includes brief references to the physical and child sexual abuse described in his books.) Skip to the story!

This week we continue a bit more into some 2000’s trends that not just defined that decade but offered some insight into our today. This week is a deeper look at IRONY (and misunderstandings) and some additional Scammers in the Hipster culture: JT LeRoy and The Mast Brothers.

Twenty years ago San Francisco author Laura Albert began to write novels using the literary persona JT Leroy. JT was a West Virginian transvestite prostitute, who applied his trade in and around Appalachian truck stops. At thirteen he was a junkie and a cutter. By nineteen, he had moved to San Francisco and started to write. JT's identity came from Laura's own need to create a persona through which she would able to confront and write about the sexual and physical abuse, she  herself had experienced as a girl. In 2000, Laura as JT LeRoy published the novel, Sarah. The book was a sensation. The New York Times Book Review called the book "deft and imaginative". Success meant that there was a massive audience that wanted to meet JT. Laura met this demand as it she puts it "for Harry Potter to come alive" by recruiting her then sister-in-law to play the part of JT. Laura adopted a Cockney accent and played the role of JT's agent and assistant.  Laura's ruse transformed JT Leroy from noted novelist to an A list celebrity. Hollywood came calling. Actress Asia Argento bought the rights to the LeRoy novel The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things and made the book into a film. In 2006, the inevitable happened, JT Leroy was accused of being a hoax. The New York Times published the article Unmasking of JT LeRoy: In Public, He's a She. The article fueled by misguided anger framed Laura's work as a con and avoided any meditation on the reasons why Laura did what she did.  Unsurprisingly, the rest of the media followed suit and piled onto the JT Leroy as greatest literary hoax theme and in doing so, missed the opportunity to dig deeper into the role of identity in art and the sheer inventiveness of what Laura had done. Overtime the media frenzy disappeared, but the global audience for the JT Leroy books did not.  Fans of the books continue to be moved and respond to the stories because of what Laura calls "the felt authenticity" in the work.  Laura is still writing.  Check out the new Sarah & The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things audiobooks narrated by a series of narrators including Shirley Manson and past Lydian Spin guest Michael Imperioli. Two excerpts from the audio book are included in the episode.
