Author: The JT LeRoy Story (2016)

New York magazine's October 2005 issue sent shockwaves through the literary world when it unmasked "it boy" wunderkind JT LeRoy, whose tough prose about his sordid childhood had captivated icons and luminaries internationally. It turned out LeRoy didn't actually exist. He was dreamed up by 40-year-old San Francisco punk rocker and phone sex operator, Laura Albert.

Laura Albert never seems like the type of person capable of such a far reaching deception, especially since none of what she did was malicious or some Andy Kaufman-esque prank. A unspoken thesis in the documentary seems to be that narrative, not truth, is what moves the public. So many people wanted JT LeRoy to be real that they ignored their better judgement.

Deeply dubious -- possibly specious -- this documentary is nonetheless car-crash compelling.

There is such a thing as a passionate, headlong phony, and you'll meet her in Author: The JT LeRoy Story.

Feuerzeig's flashy narrative antics reduce a serious and substantial story to mere snippets of information.

A highly compelling collage of stylish archival footage and recorded phone conversations that flesh out this notorious Catfish-like caper of the literary world.
