Liarmouth: A Feel-Bad Romance: A Novel

Written by John Waters

Narrated by John Waters

“The author and multiple Grammy-nominated narrator whips through this upside-down, utterly debased, genuinely hilarious tale in his iconic, approachable cadence.” – The New York Times

This program is read by author and two-time Grammy-nominated agent provocateur, John Waters. The doyen of deviance and depravity narrates his hilarious novel with masterly skill.

A hilariously filthy tale of sex, crime, and family dysfunction from the brilliantly twisted mind of John Waters, the legendary filmmaker and bestselling author of Mr. Know-It-All.

Marsha Sprinkle: Suitcase thief. Scammer. Master of disguise. Dogs and children hate her. Her own family wants her dead. She’s smart, she’s desperate, she’s disturbed, and she’s on the run with a big chip on her shoulder. They call her "Liarmouth"—until one insane man makes her tell the truth.

John Waters's first novel, Liarmouth, is a perfectly perverted “feel-bad romance,” and the reader will thrill to hop aboard this delirious road trip of riotous revenge.

Reviews for Liarmouth

[Gennyfer Hanvey · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Pure SAP. Subversive, absurd and perverse. Just everything you’d want from a novel written by John Waters.

[Melissa Kammerzell · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

John Waters in all of his perverse, gritty, finest. If your a fan of John’s not so mainstream movies such as Polyester or Pink Flamingos, you’ll love this. It’s the perfect amount of weirdness that I’ve come to expect and love from John Waters.

[Baron Sekiya · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A lascivious romp filled with botched thievery, a talking penis, an analingus festival, vengeful relatives, close calls and a yearning for the good crackers.
