Marsha Sprinkle is a liar. And a thief. And a terrible, terrible mother. And she loves every minute of it.
For the first time, the Sultan of Sleaze and the Baron of Bad taste has turned to fiction, and the result is Liarmouth, a riotous, ridiculous, perfectly perverted tale of sex, crime, and revenge. Marsha is on the run from everyone and everything: her lustful ex-assistant; her estranged daughter, backed up by a whirling cult of trampoline-obsessed oddballs; her mother, an animal plastic surgeon hoping to nip and tuck pets across America; and every cop in a hundred-mile radius. But is that enough to take down Marsha Sprinkle?
John Waters is one-of-a-kind, and Liarmouth is no different. The iconic filmmaker, actor, writer and visual artist has now added “novelist” to his resume, and the rest of us couldn’t be luckier.
