John Waters is a writer, film director, actor, and visual artist best known for his films, including Hairspray, Pink Flamingos, y Serial Mom. He is the author of the national bestsellers Role Models, Carsick, y Mr. Know-It-All. His spoken-word shows This Filthy World, False Negative, y A John Waters Christmas continue to be performed around the world. Liarmouth: A Feel-Bad Romance (Farrar, Straus and Giroux) is his debut novel, a hilariously filthy tale of sex, crime, and family dysfunction – and yes, a perfectly perverted “feel-bad romance.” It is, in the words of The New York Times, “a maze of anarchy.” Here we have Marsha Sprinkle: Suitcase thief, scammer, master of disguise. Dogs and children hate her, and 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.
