No one knows more about everything - especially everything rude,
clever, and offensively compelling - than John Waters. The man in
the pencil-thin mustache, auteur of the transgressive movie
classics Pink Flamingos, Polyester, the original Hairspray,
Cry-Baby, and A Dirty Shame, is one of the world's great
sophisticates, and in Mr. Know-It-All he serves it up raw: how to
fail upward in Hollywood; how to develop musical taste from Nervous
Norvus to Maria Callas; how to build a home so ugly and trendy that
no one but you would dare live in it; more important, how to tell
someone you love them without emotional risk; and yes, how to cheat
death itself. Through it all, Waters swears by one undeniable
truth: "Whatever you might have heard, there is absolutely no
downside to being famous. None at all." Studded with cameos of
Waters's stars, from Divine and Mink Stole to Johnny Depp, Kathleen
Turner, Patricia Hearst, and Tracey Ullman, and illustrated with
unseen photos from Waters's personal collection, Mr. Know-It-All is
Waters's most hypnotically readable, upsetting, revelatory book -
another instant Waters classic. 'Waters doesn't kowtow to the
received wisdom, he flips it the bird . . . [Waters] has the
ability to show humanity at its most ridiculous and make that funny
rather than repellent' Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post
'Carsick becomes a portrait not just of America's desolate freeway
nodes - though they're brilliantly evoked - but of American fame
itself' Lawrence Osborne, The New York Times Book Review
