[Besticus Maximus]

There was a big thing in the 90s about a trans author who wrote this angelas ashes style confessional that went gangbusters, all the rubes of the era piled in, Billy Corgan is on camera talking about how amazing and powerful and special this book is. Anyway would you believe the author was a woman and it was all fiction! For some reason this was an awful crime and when it became widely known her career was basically over, to the point where I can't even remember the name of the book.

iirc there is a storyville doc about it all
