From the heartbreaking 'Meteors,' where he struggles for the attention of his wandering mother, to the paranoia of 'Coal' - 'Whenever things feel out of control I know the black coal is doing it, and I know what to do, my mom taught me' - to living on the streets of San Francisco in 'Natoma Street.'"--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
Circulated copies of LeRoy's handwritten notebook pages brought early attention to the then unpublished author. In print for the first time, these loosely connected autobiographical stories describe the harrowing experiences of a young boy's life on the run. From the heartbreaking "Meteor," where he struggles for the attention of his wandering mother, to the paranoia of "Coal"-'Whenever things feel out of control I know the black coal is doing it, and I know what to do, my mom taught me'-to living on the streets of San Francisco in "Natoma Street," JT LeRoy's voice is as lyrical and nuanced as the readers of his acclaimed debut novel Sarah have come to expect. Fresh, raw, and absolutely unforgettable, The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things is sure to establish LeRoy as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary fiction.
