Book Synopsis
The return of a spectacular, reviled, and iconic classic of American filth!
John Waters takes us back to the scene of his original crime against good taste. Watch as Babs Johnson fights to hold on to her title as "Filthiest Person Alive," fending off the craven attempts to dethrone her by her nemeses Connie and Raymond Marble.
Read along as Waters takes us on a romp through his camp and filthy vision of Baltimore, from nefarious baby-stealing lesbians to scenes of unspeakable things done to unsuspecting chickens, to the film's iconic and revolting coup de grace (no spoilers, but it is just as stomach-churning on the page more than fifty years later!). Pink Flamingos is John Waters at his provocative, disgusting, piety-puncturing best, with the hellish and hilarious trash masterpiece that first made him a household name.
