review 1: I was going to just c + v the lyric's to "Professional Widow" here but then I thought... not worth the time to google the full song.It was interesting to see the story from the inside out. (I make no bones about being a big JT Leroy fan and wrestling with the same issues of "did i like the book because it was a good book? Or did I like it because I bought into the victim-hood of the author?") At least it would have been interesting if that was what this book was. It was not. It was primarily a celebrity kiss-ass fest. Which isn't a big enough departure from the cult of JT to be worth 200+ pages.
review 2: Laura Albert is a literary genius. Her nom de plume (JT Leroy) scandal rocked certain peoples' worlds apart. This memoir is written by her ex-sister-in-law wh... moreo played JT Leroy in public. JT Leroy was Laura Albert's nom de plume. I loved reading about Savannah-as-JT's love affair with Asia Argento, the Hollywood travels and tales, and the debut of the Asia Argento film which was adpated from a JT book at Cannes. Ultimatley, this is Laura's Story, and Savannah's version only seems like a tiny part. I can't wait to read more by Laura Albert and hear her side of everything. Also, Savannah was sort of awful to Albert when she could have been amazing. The ending just sort of trailed off, and left a lot of info out. less
