Fiction Family Life
Here, from the incomparable John Waters, is a paean to the
power of subversive inspiration that will delight, amuse,
enrich—and happily horrify—readers everywhere. Role Models is, in fact, a self-portrait told through
intimate profiles of favorite personalities—some famous,
some unknown, some criminal, some surprisingly middle of the
road. From Esther Martin, owner of the scariest bar in
Baltimore, to the playwright Tennessee Williams; from the
atheist leader Madalyn Murray O’Hair to the insane martyr
Saint Catherine of Siena; from the English novelist Denton
Welch to the timelessly appealing singer Johnny Mathis—these
are the extreme figures who helped the author form his own
brand of neurotic happiness. Role Models is a personal invitation into one of the most
unique, perverse, and hilarious artistic minds of our time.
