Remarkable
Diva magazine
Sarah is weird, darkly funny and haunting. JT LeRoy has a gift, to be able to articulate his world so clearly and astringently, with grace and humor, but without glossing over the pain and brutality of it
Suzanne Vega
I have just finished reading Sarah and found it incredible, very moving, very sad ... Read moreand very beautiful
PJ Harvey
LeRoy brushed achingly close to duplicating Genet's legerdemain - mythologizing self-abasement so as to transform it into glorious apotheosis
New York Times
JT LeRoy is one of the most interesting, passionate and gifted of writers, very few have his heart and courage. I admire his writing tremendously
Lou Reed (The Velvet Underground)
Like a cross between Nathanael West and Mark Twain, drunk out of their minds and collaborating on Charlie's Angels meets The Headless Horseman - Sarah is a wildly comic tour de force and a brilliant debut
Mary Gaitskill, author of Two Girls, Fat and Thin
Sarah is surprising, upsetting, offensive, and fun. It's everything a good read - or good sex for that matter - should be
Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club
Extraordinary. LeRoy writes with astonishing flair and confidence, making Sarah a very impressive debut indeed
Sunday Telegraph
Sarah has a strong seductive quality, and it is impossible to forget. LeRoy's ability to present trauma and tenderness simultaneously is entirely his own. 'This book is nothing short of a miracle,' LeRoy has said. I have to agree
New Statesman
Extraordinarily, LeRoy manages to lace this story with tenderness and humour. Not for the fainthearted, these few raw pages constitute a breathtaking debut
Guardian
LeRoy's work is a startling achievement in his accelerating mastery of the literary form
Publishers Weekly
A deft and imaginative...novel
