Pressestimmen

A delirious descent into Waters World, Role Models is a true-life confessional from one of America's greatest ironists. John Waters is a man always ready and willing to say the unsayable. He is the dark mirror of contemporary culture. From haute couture to low culture, from literary outsiders to lapsed actors, he delivers razor-sharp pen portraits of the women and men who have perverted and inspired him by turns. And yet Waters's warped imagination is always humane, his judgments insightful. Role Models is as much a philosophical manifesto as it is an utterly hilarious and shamelessly entertaining read. (Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan, or The Whale)Disarmingly unfiltered confessions that capture Waters' singular blend of weirdness and guileless honesty. (San Francisco Chronicle)John Waters has a great gift for appreciation - whether for toothless lesbian strippers in Baltimore or the most rarefied painters and writers of our day. He is a dandy who has done away with everyone else's hierarchies and created a new world that conforms only to his own taste for trash and the sublime. He is frank, funny, and (strangely enough) both sensible and outrageous. (Edmund White, author of City Boy)

John Waters ist am bekanntesten aufgrund seiner frühen (Skandal-)Filme wie "Pink Flamingos" und "Multiple Maniacs" sowie später etwas gemässigtere Werke wie "Hairspray" und "Serial Mom". Der aus Baltimore stammende Künstler ist aber auch ein sehr guter Autor wie einige Werke wie "Crackpot" und "Shock Value" zeigen. In seinem neuen Werk "Role Models" sind zehn Artikel zu finden, welche zuerst in Zeitschriften oder Zeitungen erschienen sind und - meistens - auf Interviews mit mehr oder weniger bekannten Persönlichkeiten basieren. So geht es um den Sänger Johnny Mathis, Leslie van Houten (aus dem Manson-Clan, ein Thema welches John Waters schon sehr lange interessiert). um die japanische Designerin Rei Kawakubo und um zwei Männer die etwas eigenwillige sexuelle Fetische haben (Abfilmen von Marines bei Sie-können-sich-denken-was, sowie Psychos) und eine Begegnung der dritten Art mit Little Richard. Nach wie vor findet John Waters Menschen faszinierend die durch Besonderheiten auffallen oder aber von seltsamen Schicksalsschlägen positiver wie negativer Art "heimgesucht" wurden. So findet sich auch ein Artikel in dem Buch über eine alte Bekannte, die Stripperin ...... welche schon in "Crackwhore" vorkam. Bei Recherchen fand John Waters heraus das sie eine Tochter hat und er schaffte es ihre Adresse rauszufinden, sie zu besuchen und IHRE Version des Lebens ihrer Mutter in das aktuelle Buch zu bringen.Es fällt auf das John Waters bei aller Begeisterung für etwas abseitige Themen des Glamours, des Showbiz und der dunklen Kehrseite sowie des American Undergrounds stets sehr höflich ist und die portraitierten Zeitgenossen nie mit Häme übergiesst oder ihnen zynisch kommt sondern ihre positiven Seiten herausstellt und eine...nun ja...etwas alternative Sichtweise auf die beschriebenen Dinge aufzeigt. Er beschreibt genüsslich was er beobachtet und herausfindet, dabei bleibt er immer ein Gentleman. Zudem ist das Buch sehr kurzweilig und intelligent geschrieben - "Role Models ist ein sogennanter "Page-Turner" und bis zum Ende der 300 Seiten ist es nur schwer das Werk aus der Hand zu legen.

The eccentric world of John Waters is definitely not for everyone. He is, refreshingly, as far away from the mainstream as one can get without being stark raving mad. Sadly, there is currently no one in my life that I would recommend this book to. But I have often used Mr. Water's work, specifically the brilliant and zany movie, Polyester, as a barometer in assessing a potential friend or lover's tolerance of my own lunatic sense of humor. I am filled with nostalgia for the days when I'd sit in front of the VCR with that movie and with the few select people who "got it", laughing my ass off.There is a genius beneath the penciled on mustache, garish clothing and apparent fetish for feces. What makes Mr. Water's writing special in this particular book is that he exposes his role models, however bizarre and raw their innards may be, with a sense of reverence and compassion, despite their obvious shortcomings. His kindness and ultimate belief in the goodness of people is apparent, and although I did not laugh as much as I thought I might while reading Role Models, I have a renewed appreciation for his work.

Fascinating glimpse into the mind of a fascinating man. The photos were particularly evocative. John Waters is a whip-smart writer and a truly gifted listener. So this book may appeal mainly to other good listeners, those who are adept at cadging and stockpiling multiple damaged, compelling biographies among the people we may crash across through life. You MAY not like all or any of these people, but you will find yourself looking at them, and caring about them.

Those of you who are familiar with John Waters' work (including Role Models) will understand the significance of the above phrase. I must confess, I am generally appalled by his movies. Last night I watched Female Trouble and much of it was a turn-off, albeit a brilliantly conceived turn-off. (I did enjoy Serial Mom, Polyester, Hairspray, Cry-Baby, and Pecker, though.) But hearing John Waters speak about his life (you simply MUST get the audio version of this book) is a refreshing experience for me. I first read about John Waters in a book called Midnight Movies (which I had purchased at a used bookstore because it featured a chapter on my favorite cult classic, Night of the Living Dead). There I got to read about many other cult classics, including Pink Flamingos, and I still remember reading about its eccentric director, who at the time filled me with a mixture of horror and glee. Now I'm just full of glee as I ponder Role Models, which I listen to frequently and with relish. My favorite chapter is "Bookworm," where John describes five books that he thinks are worth reading for anyone who "has something basically the matter with him." It's set me on a path of seeking out the mostly obscure literary titles (authors include Denton Welch, Ivy Compton-Burnett, and Jane Bowles).In a particularly poignant chapter, John discusses Lesley Van Houten (ex-Manson follower, now rehabilitated); He also talks about Tennessee Williams, Johnny Matthis, fashion designer Rei Kawakubo, artists such as Cy Twombly and Mike Kelley, as well as some of his favorite Baltimore personalities such as Lady Zorro. He mostly neglects one of his biggest influences, William Castle, although Castle received a whole chapter in John's earlier book, Crackpot.If you love eccentric, you'll love Role Models.

I'm completely envious of John Water's project to go out and track down and talk with the artists, musicians, random strangers, that have made an impression on him, that have stuck in his head. Who wouldn't like to have the name recognition that they could say, I want to have a conversation with X, let's try to set that up, and it might actually happen. Of course, his list isn't my list, but it's not your list either. It's his list and there's some interesting people on it. And since a good conversation is a reveal for both sides, you also end up seeing John Waters in the tales as well.If you like good conversation that you don't necessarily agree with, that pushes you a little, you will enjoy this book.

Wow. Where to start. This book was seriously whack-a-doodle. On the face of it, it is a semi-autobiographical story of the people that influenced, and still do influence, John Waters when growing up and beyond. It gives you a real insight into the inner workings of the man, where his ideas come from, and who he is. It sheds light on the fact that most of the world is far more screwed up than most people realize, and there is a dark, seedy underbelly that lies underneath the one that we all think we already know about, and suggests, strongly, that there are more layers of filth underneath that. I am also convinced, now more than ever, that Baltimore is the filthiest place in the United States, which, I believe, is Mr. Waters point. Casual readers should be warned: this book delves into some pretty dark places. While far from the worst stuff I've ever read, Waters does take the reader to some graphically filthy places, with language, imagery and ideals that many people might find objectionable. However, even at his worst, he manages to turn the subject around and bring out a laugh, forcing you to embrace the absurd filth and laugh with him at the absurdity of it all. Mr Waters writing style is eclectic - he jumps from topic to topic in a seemingly random, if energetic fashion, often raising a point, jumping to another idea or two, then circling back around to the original subject, which makes him a little hard to read, especially when he wanders off topic for a long time. I do believe that he went a little off the rails in the final chapter, in which, I guess, he was casting himself as a role model. And while that certainly fit the theme of the book, hardly matched the style. A slightly tighter editing would have resulted in five stars. If you are a hardcore Waters fan, then this book is a must. If you are an average Waters cultist, then read it. If you are a fan of his most popular works and not a homophobe, then go ahead and read it, it will be enlightening.
