From the incomparable John Waters, renowned cult film director, artist and actor, Role Models is a paean to the power of subversive inspiration that will delight, amuse, enrich and happily horrify readers everywhere.
In this self-portrait, told through intimate literary profiles of his favorite personalities, John Waters invites readers to appreciate those who helped him form his own brand of neurotic happiness; singer Johnny Mathis, Comme Des Garcons founder Rei Kawakubo, actress Patty McCormack, writers Tennessee Williams, Lionel Shriver, Denton Welch and Ivy Compton-Burnett, insane martyr Saint Catherine of Siena, ex-Manson follower Leslie van Houten, lesbian stripper Zorro, artist Cy Twombly and outsider pornographers Bobby Garcia and David Hurles.
From the famous to the unknown, the sublime to the extreme, Role Models is a personal invitation into one of the most unique, perverse and hilarious artistic minds of our time.
