The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things

by J. T. Leroy
177 members / 0 friends / 2 groups / 12 reviews / 15 tags

The extraordinary stories that brought the author a cult following at the age of sixteen.

These are the stories of a young boy on the run, away from his past, hellbent towards an unknown future. Connected, they form a sometimes harrowing, sometimes bleakly funny, and often tender portrait of a complicated life. Like a modern-day Voltaire, LeRoy bounces his characters from adventure to adventure, each of them unyielding in the belief that the best of all possible worlds lies just around the next corner. Fresh, raw, and absolutely unforgettable, The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things has further established the acclaimed author of Sarah as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary fiction.

    I could only read one chapter of this book. I know it's fictional, but I just kept imagining a real kid having to go through something like that. I'm sure worse things happen every day that we never hear about, but I honestly couldn't force myself to read it. I'm a mother, so as I was reading the first chapter, I just kept thinking, wow, what if that was my son having to endure all of that abuse. I didn't even attempt to read Sarah.
