Book Overview
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."

John Waters has no business running around by himself
Published by Bayou Boy , 4 years ago
If you ever play that game where you ask "Which 5 people would you have at a dinner party?" My first choice is always John Waters. The man has made some of the most twisted and hilarious movies ever. His books are simply more of the same twisted and hilarious. He often borders on obscene (depending on your definition) but he is never boring and I will buy his books just because his name is on it and I know I won't be disappointed or boring. Just the chapter about what "fans" send him in the mail is worth the price of the book. Be prepared!
