Kultregisseur John Waters ist 66 Jahre alt, als er sich auf eine abenteuerliche Reise begibt: Per Anhalter reist er einmal quer durch die USA – von Baltimore an der Ostküste bis nach San Francisco. Bevor er sich an den Straßenrand stellt, phantasiert Waters in zwei wilden Novellas den besten und schlimmstmöglichen Verlauf seines Trips: Er hat großartigen Sex, trifft auf totgeglaubte Freunde und einen Serienmörder und landet schließlich in der Hölle. Doch die größten Überraschungen hält immer noch das wahre Leben parat. Und so übertreffen Waters Erlebnisse seine kühnsten Erwartungen.

John Waters, a prominent film director and artist, has been a significant figure in American cinema since the 1960s, beginning his career in Baltimore. His early works, like Hag in a Black Leather Jacket and Mondo Trasho, showcased his unique ability to transform the grotesque into art. Central to his films is the ensemble known as the Dreamlanders, including the iconic Divine, who became a staple in Waters's most recognized projects, highlighting the director's distinctive blend of subversion and creativity.

Here, from the incomparable John Waters, is a paean to the power of subversive inspiration that will delight, amuse and enrich-and happily horrify readers everywhere. Role Models is a self-portrait told through intimate profiles of favourite personalities-some famous, some unknown. From the English novelist Denton Welch to the timelessly appealing singer Johnny Mathis-here are the figures who have helped the author form his own brand of neurotic happiness. Role Models is a personal invitation into one of the most unique, perverse and hilarious artistic minds of our time. How did somebody from a quiet Baltimore neighborhood grow up to become the outlandish, brilliant, and insane John Waters? Two words: Johnny Mathis.

To me, bad taste is what entertainment is all about. If someone vomits watching one of my films, it's like getting a standing ovation. Thus begins John Waters's autobiography. And what a story it is. Opening with his upbringing in Baltimore ("Charm City" as dubbed by the tourist board; the "hairdo capital of the world" as dubbed by Waters), it covers his friendship with his muse and leading lady, Divine, detailed accounts of how Waters made his first movies, stories of the circle of friends/actors he used in these films, and finally the "sort-of fame" he achieves in America. Complementing the text are dozens of fabulous old photographs of Waters and crew. Here is a true love letter from a legendary filmmaker to his friends, family, and fans.
