Doc Film "Author: The JT LeRoy Story"-Fraud, Fiction or Art?

The doc film about the writer Laura Albert (b. Amer 1965) focuses mainly on the 2 books written under the pseudonym JT LeRoy: "Sarah" ('00) & "The Heart is Deceitful Above all Things" ('01.)  Albert's pseudonym gave rise to an avatar creation of JT LeRoy, an androgynous young boy whose mother is a prostitute, drug addict and he becomes a victim of sexual & physical abuse.  Both "deceitful" books received literary acclaim and garnered a high profile celebrity cult following.  The big deal - not big deal is what was the real deal?  Why the prolonged impersonation of the faux author in the guise of Albert's sister-in-law (who looked like a prettier Andy Warhol complete with wig & sunglasses.)  Albert's writings were made into movies by Amer dir Gus Van Sant & Italian dir/actress Asia Argento.  The movie failed to impress upon me the tumultuous  broughaha surrounding Albert's charade.  Albert did the actual writing.  She states in the movie "On the back of my books it says FICTION."  Perhaps having made the famous seem foolish she was sued for fraud & fined $350,000 ('07.) The Author's Guild lent their futile support ('08) claiming writers have the right to assume nom de plumes and embody their characters.  I don't recall the backlash & the investigative breakthroughs in revealing the fiction behind the fiction.  I do recall the scandal surrounding James Frey's "memoir" "A Million Little Pieces."  If you mess with Miss O you better know there's going to be show down and claiming events to be true when they're not - is morally irrehensible & most likely illegal.  There have been Pulitzer Prizes awarded to journalists claiming their stories as factual when they're fictitious. This is shameful.  The dir of "Author…," Jeff Feuerzeig (b. Amer '64) is known for making doc. films dealing with exposing impostors.  I found this doc shameful because it isn't so much an investigative piece as it is an expose on an emotionally unstable woman whose writing may have been her savior.   Keeping in mind Fellini views, "All art is autobiographical.  You exist only in what you do," what Laura Albert did was not so much a crime but the film was a waste of my time.
