I removed the 'Controversry' section because not only was it misleading and unnecessary it was also basically vandalism from someone with a JT Leroy/Laura A. complex/vendetta for Dennis. Anyway, as you may or may not know it turned out JT Leroy/Laura had manipulated and used Dennis, and others, in a maleficent way. And, her JT Leroy "hoax" will probably be the literary scandal of the decade. --Haruki 11:34, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editor

Is the "Editor" section necessary? The information is available on denniscooper.net and seems extraneous when compared to other author wikis - Retinalsummer 08:49, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
