Title: Ignore the woman behind the curtain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Product review: Actually, don't ignore her. It's not Oz, it's not funny, and it's a sad, sad comment on the state of contemporary literature and the desire for serious artists to feel more connected with "outsider" talent, i.e. people who aren't in the insular worlds of West Coast or East Coast art. This hoax does an injustice to those who are truly outside creators, as well as the intentions to help those artists by more established talent. Shame on Laura Albert and Team LeRoy. And shame on Ira Silverberg for covering his ass in The New York Times by pretending he wasn't aware of what was really going on, especially since a lot of unconnected people from New York to Los Angeles--and all points in-between--had pretty much figured something wasn't smelling honest.
