Resumen del Editor

"[Just] like reading a description of a Waters film is nothing like seeing it on the screen, listening to him tell his own stories brings the context and inflection needed to truly appreciate his art. A singular experience." — Booklist

This program is read by the author and includes a bonus conversation.

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, Mr. Know-It-All is Waters’s most hypnotic, upsetting, revelatory audiobook yet —another instant Waters classic.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Cheerfully lewd and sincerely disingenuous, cult filmmaker, comic, and lifelong raconteur John Waters narrates his latest memoir/tell-all with a good-natured wink and a well-earned dab of sentimentality." -AudioFile Magazine

"[O]ne of those books that you definitely should listen to on audiobook." -BookPage

"[A] wry, sardonic, tell-all audiobook flavored with Waters' uniquely blunt, insightful, and tongue-in-cheek sense of wit. Mr. Know-It-All is acerbic, biting, and utterly hilarious." -Midwest Book Review

Love this man!

I would like to thank John Waters for all the years of entertainment you brought me and so many others. This was my first John Waters book but it won't be my last.

John Waters is a king amongst men

The Prince of Puke, The Pope of Trash, whatever you call him, John Waters is one of American cinema's most talented and pure auteurs, and this book is a great introduction into one of the most imaginative minds of the last 40 years.

Such an entertaining read!

I was pulled in from the very beginning with, "a mental disorder is a terrible thing to waste."
Once it pulled me in I was glued to it all the way through! Very fun book to read, even better that the author narrates it himself.

Well done!

You'll learn about his movies, his friends, his life, his family, his shows and so much more. Just remember that it's John Waters so if you're easily offended, you'll not like a few chapters. The book is raw and totally John.

Excellent

John Waters delivers a wild and wonderful ride into what is sometimes filthy, always funny journey into his life and perspective. Exploring this wicked road was a fun trip and look forward to his future endeavors.

Very funny and entertaining

I rarely take the time to leave reviews but after listening to Waters' book, I feel like he's a friend so i should. A weird and wonderful man.

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION

As a true fan of John Waters, I didn’t think I’d come to love and appreciate this person even more than I already do, but listening to this book has made me have a whole new appreciation for the King of Filth.
