language of what it's saying
is the books aren't real.
That all that work...
...is a joke.
Director:
What made peopleactually believe
that you were the writer?
Savannah Knoop:
I think peoplebelieved I was the writer
because
I said I was the writer.
I mean,
that's what it boils down to,
belief is based
on this kind of contract
around what you say you do
and then you assume
that's what you do.

disorder.
But that ain't it.
I am pulling the switch.
I am making the decision
to go to a different rail.
I don't know what the label is,
I don't know
what the classification is,
but I can tell you
one thing I know --
it is not a hoax.
[ Ringing ]
If you bought a book,
if you feel upset because I was
or that I'm a woman
and not a boy,
I'm okay with that.
The book says clearly,
on the jacket, fiction.
The rest is extra.

My dad grew up in Bushwick
really poor,
and he had a very close friend
that would babysit.
I knew him
from when I was a baby.
He was just always there,
and he was family.
My parents
didn't really go out a lot,
so for them to go out at night
was a big deal.
But when I was 3, my mom
arranged for theater tickets,
and they left me with George.
And we played a game.
It's a very complex,
psychological game
of being a good girl
versus being a bad girl.
and my body responds to that,
but that is proof
that I'm a bad girl.
He had a solution,
and that was to spank me.
But he also touched me
at the same time.
That's where everything just...
my wires crossed.
'Cause then pain
and sexual excitement
became intertwined.
And I'm not innocent in this.
My body responded.
and it was horrible,
and something
was very, very broken in me.
I went to food for relief
because he definitely
preferred me thin.
At some point,
George just disappeared.
But the damage was done.
A child is
a delicately spinning top,
and it doesn't take much
to send the top off its course.

It must be nice to disappear
To have a vanishing act
How nice it is to disappear
Float into a mist
With a young lady
on your arm
Looking for a kiss
It must be nice to disappear
To have a vanishing act
How nice it is to disappear
Float into a mist
With a young lady
on your arm
Looking for a kiss
Looking for a kiss
Float into a mist
