Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder by John Waters
4.0
This is the book you read and you hope that in the future, a younger cousin or deadpan family member comes across its interesting title and wonders what lurks inside. Only to be shocked and horrified that it not only exists but its on my bookshelf.
I don't think there are any family members I would be comfortable to recommend it to, but the internet will suffice. It was so hilarious at times, and gratuitously gruesome in others, that it felt weirdly endearing and wholly genuine. Almost like Pink Flamingoes.
It makes me want to see his films I haven't viewed yet like Serial Mom and Cecil B. Demented.
Going from Oliver Stone's book to this was a real shock to the system, but a welcome one.
