On sale
5th May 2022
Price: £9.99
‘It’s just as deliciously witty and delightfully deviant as you’d expect from the man William Burroughs called the “Pope of Trash”‘ Independent
‘Waters is undoubtedly among the greatest American comedians of all time’ Far Out
A hilariously filthy tale of sex, crime, and family dysfunction from the brilliantly twisted mind of John Waters, the legendary filmmaker and bestselling author of Mr. Know-It-All.
Marsha Sprinkle: Suitcase thief. Scammer. Master of disguise. Dogs and children hate her. Her own family wants her dead. She’s smart, she’s desperate, she’s disturbed, and she’s on the run with a big chip on her shoulder. They call her “Liarmouth” – until one insane man makes her tell the truth.
John Waters’s first novel, Liarmouth, is a perfectly perverted “feel-bad romance,” and the reader will thrill to hop aboard this delirious road trip of riotous revenge.

This fun exploration of more Baltimore lives is a shock-o-rama of his favourite themes, celebrating debauchery, delighting in deviance, relishing the absurd and savouring nonconformity. Throw in plenty of wanking, a talking penis (called Richard) and lots of ear frottage and what you have here is a perfect example of American Gothic Camp
Waters is undoubtedly among the greatest American comedians of all time
In Waters' world, dysfunction is beautiful, degradation is powerful, and there's nothing to fear because the grotesque is proudly on display.
It's just as deliciously witty and delightfully deviant as you'd expect from the man William Burroughs called the "Pope of Trash"
