A Name for a Face: An Audience with Savannah Knoop (J.T. Leroy)

Faked/Out features a series of writing workshops, guest speakers, and film screenings that will contextualize fake news within a significant, cross-disciplinary tradition of fakeness and will create opportunities for visitors to alternately interrogate and experiment with the practice of faking it in their own lives.

Event Description: Pseudonyms are fake identities for real people. Besides being herself, Savannah Knoop was also the face of author J.T. Leroy. Today, she is herself, and during this evening we will deliberate on the nature of identities, non-fiction, and much more.
