"Duped: Literary Hoaxes and Pretenders
Thursday, Oct. 26, 7PM, the Forum @ csf

This panel examines the ethical issues implicit in the longstanding phenomenon of the literary hoax. Panelists include New York agent Ira Silverberg, who was recently duped by sensational literary pretender Laura Albert, the creator of the now infamous novelist-persona JT Leroy -- a supposed HIV+, transgender, prostitute teenager pimped out by his mother at truck stops -- and NEA-recipient and literary duper Jon Davis. Davis, chair of creative writing at the Institute for American Indian Arts, successfully writes under a series of "heteronyms" and minority personas for a variety of reasons, including a desire to expose what he considers to be the literary world's unacknowledged practice of affirmative action publishing. Moderated by NEA Award-winning poet Greg Glazner.

"A good hoax is a wonderful thing if it doesn't hurt anybody. But people were deceived in a brutal way: playing the AIDS card to elicit support, money, connections. That is... morally reprehensible." -Ira Silverberg, literary agent of JT Leroy"
