Ep. 250 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Vanity Fair Confidential – The Boy Who Cried Author”

Your hosts Christopher and Eric are both bestselling authors who are never reluctant to share personal details about their lives. But at the end of the day, what does an author of fiction truly owe their audience when it comes to their own life story? This is just one of the questions that defines the twisty and edgy tale of literary phenomenon J.T LeRoy as Christopher and Eric serve up episode 2 of season 4 of one of their favorite series, VANITY FAIR CONFIDENTIAL, entitled “The Boy Who Cried Author”.  As Double Identity Month continues, we travel from West Virginia truck stops to San Francisco night clubs to the vaunted offices of New York publishers as the line between fiction and memoir gets stretched to the breaking point. Christopher also shares his own experience at the hands of a literary catfish who took the romance writing world by storm.
