The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things Summary

The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things by J. T. LeRoy

Featuring a series of loosely connected autobiographical stories, they describe the disturbing relationship between a mother and her adolescent son as she moves from lover to lover, dressing him as a girl and forcing him to shoplift. These are shocking stories of abusive love and dysfunctional sexuality, of heartbreak and of innocence lost. Once again, LeRoy's fantastical imagination and lyricism twists his haunted past into something utterly strange and magical.

Sunday Telegraph; '...impossible to forget.' New Statesman; '...a wonderfully executed journey into strange and unforgettable territory.' Big Issue; '...a beautiful, scary, sad and funny book.'
