Synopsis

The rest of America found out who John Waters was when Hairspray hit the Broadway stage, and some of America knows Waters through his dozen movies from Pink Flamingos to, more recently, Pecker and A Dirty Shame. But real fans know him through Shock Value, his long out-of-print manifesto/memoir of a trashy life lived with campy gusto. Also back in print: Trash Trio, collecting the screenplays for three of Waters' pre-respectability films - Pink Flamingos, Desperate Living, and Flamingos Forever (the un-produced sequel, never made because by the time it was written, too many of the original cast had died. Both were Thunder's Mouth titles about a decade ago.
