Shirley Manson speaks of LeRoy's work: " I can't tell you how much it
touched me. I devoured <bold>The Heart is Deceitful  Above All
Things?/bold> in one diabolical rollercoaster of a sitting.I can only 
equate reading it?to the first time I ever heard someone like Billie 
Holiday or Kurt Cobain sing. His writing is so  brave and crazy,
beautiful and powerful.He's a one in a trillion smack bang  original."???

>from <bold>SWANN IN LOVE AGAIN/THE LESBIAN ARABIAN NIGHTS</bold>, her
