Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder by John Waters
This was the first John Waters book I’ve ever read, I’m sad to admit, but it was everything I hoped it would be. From sharing his experiences with the films he created to reminiscing about long time friends, describing the restaurant and house he’d create right in down to his funeral, death, and afterlife, John Waters is genuinely and consistently John Waters.
His style of writing renders you unable to put this book down even though you know you need to wake up early in the morning. He has made me want to visit Provincetown again - without my parents this time - so that I may bask in all of its queer glory.
I would love to meet him just to be in his presence, though I would need to carefully plan my outfit lest he cannot even stand a glance in my direction.
This is a must read for anyone who doesn’t want to “fit-in” with societal norms, loves the eccentricities of a person with a free mind, or anyone who needs encouragement to break the mould and allow their creativity to overtake their self-consciousness.
I’m off to soak my brain with his works of all mediums.
