Non-Fiction Biography
"To me, bad taste is what entertainment is all about. If
someone vomits watching one of my films, it's like getting a
standing ovation." Thus begins John Waters's
autobiography. And what a story it is. Opening with his
upbringing in Baltimore ("Charm City" as dubbed by the
tourist board; the "hairdo capital of the world" as dubbed
by Waters), it covers his friendship with his muse and
leading lady, Divine, detailed accounts of how Waters made
his first movies, stories of the circle of friends - actors
he used in these films, and finally the "sort-of fame" he
achieves in America. Complementing the text are dozens of
fabulous old photographs of Waters and crew. Here is a true
love letter from a legendary filmmaker to his friends,
family, and fans.
