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 t...

True Crime CampfireFake Fiction: The Story of J.T. LeRoySo, this might seem like a weird question, but hear me out. Does authenticity matter? Let me be more specific. Does art need to be authentic? What if you found out, for example, that your favorite writer—somebody whose traumatic life story you related to, somebody whose identity was a living, breathing part of the power of the stories they told—was a fake? Not the person they presented themselves to be at all? Would you be fine with it, or would you feel kind of…betrayed? And how would you feel about the stories? Would they hit a little differ...

ARTLAWSLaura Albert (aka JT LeRoy)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. Eve...

P3 KulturMyt, sanning och kulturkonsekvensVeckans P3 Kultur reflekterar över undergångsromantik, genuinitet och fiktion i ljuset av tre intressanta fall: Joaquin Phoenix, JT LeRoy och Keith Richards. Phoenix och hans svåger Casey Afflecks festivalaktuella mockumentär I'm still here är en fejkad men uppriktig berättelse om hur det kunde ha gått till om Phoenix ballade ur, drogade ner sig och hoppade av sin karriär för att i stället sätta som mål att släppa en hiphop-platta med P Diddy. För att lycka med luret syltade duon bland annat in Ben Stiller, oscarsgalans globala tv-publik och David Letterma...
