Quick caution to our listeners - it's a John Waters story, so it contains graphic sexual language.ĪNDREW LIMBONG, BYLINE: There are times when reading the novel "Liarmouth" feels like delirium, which is to say it feels like a John Waters movie.

WATERS: With her partner, who is her sexual slave named Darryl, who is her fake chauffeur. WATERS: His salary is he can have sex with her once a year. And this is that day, but she ain't paying him. LIMBONG: They squat in empty, unused Baltimore McMansions - the way Marsha likes it. She's uptight and wary of any and all bodily functions.

Here's Waters reading from the audio book. WATERS: (Reading) Marsha hates anything old - antiques, vintage, collectibles. It's all dirty to her - used, stained with other people's fluids - children's tears, unwanted sperm, stray mucus, even unrequired food. Odors are an unwanted invasion of her superiority, an interruption to her focused life. LIMBONG: Something happens to them on the job that even Waters doesn't want to get into. Marsha's daughter, a trampoline addict, is trying to kill her. And of course, Marsha's distaste for bodies and people she finds beneath her gets tested. Through it all, Waters writes with a sort of glee, you know. You can feel him grinning through the pages of the book. WATERS: I just wanted to try something I hadn't done - same reason I took LSD when I was 70 again, the same reason I hitchhiked across America when I was 66. Why not try to write your first novel when you're mid-70s? I want to keep trying new things. LIMBONG: It's an ethos that's been present in his work from his early short films to, of course, "Pink Flamingos."ĭIVINE: (As Divine/Babs Johnson) Good morning, Mama. LIMBONG: It's from 1972, and it stars the late drag queen Divine as she proves herself to be the filthiest woman alive against a rival filthy family. The movie is probably most famous for the scene where Divine eats dog poo, but a bunch of other wild stuff happens in the movie, too. I told Waters that I hadn't seen it before, and there was a look of satisfaction on his face when I told him, look, I grew up with a broadband connection in my bedroom, you know. I've seen some stuff, and I didn't think this movie would get me, but it got me, man. WATERS: So which part got you the most? I mean. I look at some of it, and I even think, oh, my God. LIMBONG: The part that got me the most was the scene when they're licking everything in the house. LIMBONG: And for all of the film's insistence on pushing boundaries and daring the audience to watch, the movie's stood the test of time.ĭivine and her son Crackers break into the ritzy house of their enemies and lick everything - plates, spoons, couches.ĭIVINE: (As Divine/Babs Johnson) Just get your saliva glands going.ĭIVINE: (As Divine/Babs Johnson) Real good. Late last year, the Library of Congress entered it into the National Film Registry alongside films like "The Long Goodbye" and "WALL-E." It's due for a big Criterion Collection rerelease that includes an essay by critic Howard Hampton.
