The legendary filmmaker and provocateur embarks on an epic cross-country hitchhiking adventure from Baltimore to San Francisco, armed only with his thumb, his wits, and his trademark irreverent humor. Waters chronicles both his wildest fantasies and worst fears about the journey, then delivers the hilariously unpredictable reality of what actually happened. A delightfully subversive travel memoir that's part adventure story, part social commentary, and pure John Waters madness.

Why We Picked It: Because only John Waters could turn hitchhiking into high art and social satire. His fearless curiosity about America and its people, combined with his razor-sharp wit and genuine warmth, creates a travel memoir unlike any other—one that's both deeply funny and surprisingly touching.
