Description

We're very excited to announce that for season 5 of You're Booked we're jetting off to the USA for an entire series featuring our favourite American writers. And we're even more excited to start off in Baltimore at the home of the legendary author and auteur John Waters! John is the director of 18 films including the classics Pink Flamingos and Hairspray and the author of 10 books, the latest being Mr Know-It-All. We perused just a tiny section of his his vast 12,000 volume book collection and discussed shoplifting, porn parodies, and, scoop alert, John's first novel, which is currently being written.BOOKSJohn Waters - Mr Know-It-AllEvelyn Waugh - The Loved OneWitold Gombrowicz - DiariesJacqueline Susan - Valley of the DollsPauline Kael - I Lost It At The MoviesSiv Holm - I, a WomanNick Mays - Proper Care of Fancy RatsPhil Shaw - Extreme IroningAnonymous - Break Dance HunksDean Starkey - Mondo SexoJoseph Jenkins - Slate Roof BibleUgo Mulas - New York: The New Art SceneDian Hanson - Big Book of PussyDian Hanson - Big Book of BreastsZandha Rhodes - 50 Fabulous Year of FashionBrigid Berlin - PolaroidsTim Coghlan - Notre DamnedJean-Claude Lebensztejn - Pissing FiguresJulia Hall - Slaves of ChristoHubert Selby - Last Exit To BrooklynJohn Rechy - City of NightWilliam Burroughs - Naked LunchWilliam Burroughs Jr - SpeedSheila Weller - Carrie FisherAugusten Burroughs - Toil and TroubleJohn Waters - Role ModelsDenton Welch - JournalsNorris Mailer - Windchill SummerNorris Mailer - Ticket to the CircusAnne Lamot - Almost EverythingLucy Ellman - Ducks, NewburyportKarl Ove Knausgaard - My StruggleRichard Tuttle - Art ofAmanda Lepore - Doll PartsJohn Kennedy Toole - Confederacy of DuncesGrace Metalious - Peyton PlaceGrace Metalious - Return To Peyton PlaceGrace Metalious - Tight White CollarCandy Darling - My Face For The World To SeeDavid Rank - Bend Over PigKlaus Kinski - All I Need is LoveLinda Russell - My Daughter Susan SmithDeborah Spungen - And I Don't Want To Live This LifeLionel Dahmer - Father's StoryJane Bowles - Two Serious LadiesTennessee Williams - MemoirsTennessee Williams - Suddenly Last SummerLili Anolik - Hollywood's EveRicki Lake - Never Say Never Julian Barnes - Only StoryJohn Rechy - About My Life and the Kept WomanJohn Waters - CarsickChristopher Bonanos - Making of Weegee See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to You’re Booked, the podcast for literary nosy parkers who would like the chance to snoop around their favourite authors’ bookshelves.I’m Daisy Buchanan, your Book Inspector, and I’ll be asking our guests all about the first forbidden books they read under the covers, the beloved books they have borrowed, and never given back, and those impressive heavyweight hardbacks that make them look like intellectual giants – even though they couldn’t get beyond the first twenty pages.We’ll also be talking about what makes readers into writers, how our guests became book lovers and their favourite reading memories, all with a dash of intelligence and a dollop of irreverence. Our guests include Dolly Alderton, Nina Stibbe, Nikesh Shukla, and many more favourites from our own bookshelves. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
