Crackpot by John Waters (1986)


Crackpot: The Obsessions of John Waters

Collection of absolutely hilarious personal essays. Includes two essays that I love so much I'd like to have them embroidered on (really large) samplers:   “101 Things I Hate" and “101 Things I Love.”  Other standout essays include "Ladies and Gentlemen . . . The Nicest Kids in Town!", the essay that the movie and musical Hairspray was based on.  A fascinating look inside Waters's head.
