A brief, spastically illustrated volume that presents John Waters' recent commencement speech at RISD. It's cute and moderately inspirational, but mostly trite.

Definitive proof that "filthy and perverted" are not only not diametric opposites of "kind and wise," but that they don't even fall on the same spectrum.
This funny, fierce speech was originally delivered to the graduates of Rhode Island School of Design, but I would cheerfully hand it, adorned with the biggest, tackiest bow I could find, to a high school grad, or even to my 8th grader as he finishes middle school this spring.
I have an ARC of this book, and I have kept it close at hand recently, as both comfort and goad. Just yesterday I received a finished copy, and I turned it around and immediately gifted it to one of the most disruptive writers I know.
Now let's go out there and fuck things up.

Totally cheated on this as I couldn't locate the actual book. I watched his commencement speech on youtube! I'm considering this an audiobook.
This man is a national treasure!

This is a "gift book", the kind of thing you buy for a college graduate as a present when you don't feel like a gift card is enough. Or if they are a John Waters fan. Because $14.95 seems like a lot for a book you can read in 5 minutes.
