Book review - "Mr Know It All" by John Waters

 Really lively, fun book - I think Waters made some good films but his real gift is being him. He seems to have the best life, with a staff and apartments in Baltimore and New York and holidaying in Provincetown and lots of friends.

This is a series of essays. A biographical account of his career from Polyster up til the present day, how he does his one man show, a comic rant on sex acts, a brilliant chapter on Andy Warhol, a discussion with this imaginary child, a look at death, and various other matters. Consistently stimulating and always entertaining, a lot of fun.
