| book description |

On the verge of a suburban mental health crisis, frazzled and wildly unstable housewife Peggy (immortalised by Mink Stole on-screen) runs away from home with her maid and partner in crime, Grizelda (played with spectacular gumption by the sizzling Jean Hill), only to end up in Mortville, a shantytown filled with societyâ€™s rejects. Mortville is run by the evil Queen Carlotta, who parades through the cardboard streets taunting and terrorising her subjects. John Watersâ€™ wild and visionary fable lampoons everything from the staid conservatism of the American dream to race and class relations. The New York Times ranked Desperate Living at â€œthe highest peak atop [John Watersâ€™] trash heap of a filmography.â€ High praise indeed!
