Carsick: John Waters Hitchhikes Across America
by John Waters
LET ME JUST GUSH ABOUT THE CORVETTE KID FOR A SECOND.
Oh my god. Straight Republican dudebro 20-something decides to hitchhike across the country with John Fucking Waters, terrifying his parents. I love it. I love this guy so much, even if he wears khakis.
Now, to backtrack: People have said a lot of not-so-nice things about how this book is formatted. It's divided into 3 parts, 2 of which are fiction. In the first section, JW writes about "the best that could happen." All good rides, no creepy people, and a brand new boyfriend at the end.
The second part is "the worst that could happen." He ends up murdered. It's pretty messy and outrageous.
The third part is nonfiction. The real deal. It was my favorite, I think, because THE CORVETTE KID WAS REAL. HE WAS IN THIS SECTION.
I am never going to get over the Corvette Kid. I want to add this guy to the list of people I want to high five before I die.
Anyway. The only reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is that, as much as I admire JW's filthy imagination, he is a gay man, and I am a gay woman, which means that his fantasies involve a lot of penises and I dislike those.
But whatever, John Waters is the shit and I'm so happy I scored a signed copy of this book.
