MR KNOW- IT- ALL

John Waters/ Corsair

No one knows more about everything — especially everything rude, clever and offensively compelling — than cult filmmaker John Waters. A connoisseur of original thinking, here he shares his wisdom on how to fail upward in Hollywood, how to build a home so ugly and trendy that nobody but you would dare live in it, how to tell someone you love them without emotional risk, and even how to cheat death itself. Studded with cameos from Waters’ stars, from Divine and Mink Stole to Johnny Depp, Kathleen Turner and Tracey Ullman, and illustrated with unseen photos from Waters’ personal collection, this is the work of a deliciously entertaining, irreverent genius.
