Critics Review
Remarkable
Extraordinarily, LeRoy manages to lace this story with tenderness and humour. Not for the fainthearted, these few raw pages constitute a breathtaking debut - Guardian
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 StatesmanExtraordinary. LeRoy writes with astonishing flair and confidence, making Sarah a very impressive debut indeed - Sunday TelegraphSarah 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 ClubJT 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)I have just finished reading Sarah and found it incredible, very moving, very sad and very beautiful - PJ HarveyAbout The Author
