The novel “Sarah” moved novelist Catherine Texier. She gushed about it in a review in the New York Times on May 7, 2000.
“Every so often a book bursts on the scene and triggers irresistible questions: Who is the author? What made him a writer? Is the book autobiographical? Is it fantasy? This is the case with ‘Sarah,’ J.T. LeRoy’s deft and imaginative first novel,” Texier wrote.
“Does it matter that he is 20 years old? That he grew up in rural West Virginia and later on the streets of San Francisco? That he started publishing at 16, under the pseudonym Terminator? It does. And yet it shouldn’t.”
