One More JT LeRoy Item, Because We Can

As pointed out to us by an anonymous tipster, JT LeRoy’s PEN membership was renewed sometime between September 2004 and September 2005. Random amusing question: Did “LeRoy” ever go to any PEN meetings/readings, and if so, just who was there?

And while we’re on the subject: Whoever JT is, I still want to thank him/her for introducing me to Charles D’Ambrosio’s short stories. I’m so looking forward to his latest collection, The Dead Fish Museum, which Knopf is publishing later this spring…and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it turns up on next year’s Story Prize shortlist, based on the things I’ve already read in magazines.

Oh, and JT him/herself sent us this via email this morning, proving s/he has a sense of humor: proof that JT is really Carol Channing.
