Editorial in Oxford American

[d_r_o_n_e]

Oxford American magazine has a long editorial piece on their own experience with publishing a JT Leroy story (the "Loretta Lynn" piece, linked a while back on here i think), the editor's thoughts on the whole hoax thing, and factchecking with respect to memoir/nonfiction/etc.

It's up on their website here: Leave a comment

That was a very good read, especially for anyone who thought Laura Albert's hoax was merely harmless and commendable.
