Parry Hotters recommended reads: Make Trouble
John Waters is someone who is both famous and infamous. His breakthrough film "Pink Flamingos" is one of the most sordid and gross movies ever to have been made – and Waters is quite proud of that fact. Waters career can have a line drawn through it and have two time periods: before "Hairspray" and after "Hairspray". As it was with that film that Waters broke into the mainstream and began to receive widely acclaimed success and he started to lose his cult icon status.
In his book "Make Trouble" Waters offers up advise for those citizens of the world who want to pursue a career in the arts. This book began as a commencement speech that Waters gave to the Rhode Island School of design and from there he has expanded the content. In this book he furthers his encouragement to go out and change the world. To challenge perceptions, to incite incident and to most of all make some trouble. These are some wise words from someone who has spent half a life in the trenches and the other half trying to get back to them. Available as an e-book through the libraries overdrive service.
