Raisin’ my lonely Dental Floss
Well I just might grow me some bees
But I’d leave the sweet stuff
For somebody else…

First published in America on June 9, 2001 by Bloomsbury. The novel follows 12-year-old Cherry, a boy who aspires to be the most famous lot lizard (a prostitute at a truck stop). Growing jealous of the beauty of his mother, he passes himself off as a female and enters the service of a pimp
who runs a truck stop brothel in West Virginia filled entirely with
young boys dressed as women. The story itself has many of the elements
of The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things (below), but has a
lighter, more humorous feel in its account of Cherry’s quest (such as
renaming himself Sarah after his mother) to become the greatest
"lizard" in the brothel. Much as in LeRoy’s earlier writing, the
protagonist falls upon bad times and faces exploitation and abuse at
the hands of another pimp. Surprisingly less dark than the short story
collection, the novel has a distinct mythical, Dickensian feel and relates a story of love of a child’s mother as expressed through his imitation of her.
