Sorry, I have no runner-ups; ... I just reread Sarah by JT LeRoy that made a big impact on me back in 2002, with some hesitation. Since I last read this jet black fairytale of child prostitution, (told in a starry eyed manner as if it were a trip to the wrong Oz) LeRoy has been unveiled as a literary persona.
