Reseña del libro "Cómo liarla"
Cuando John Waters dio sus consejos a los licenciados de la Escuela de Diseno de Rhode Island, su discurso se hizo viral, en parte por la brillantez y tino con que trataba el tema de ganarse la vida siendo una persona creativa. Con su maliciosa sabiduria, nos insta a abrazar el caos, ser impertinentes y enfurecer a los que nos critican. Para ser creativo, nos dice, el pragmatismo y la disciplina son tan importantes como el talento, y no hay que tenerle miedo al rechazo. Waters aconseja a los jovenes que escuchen a hurtadillas, que presten atencion a sus enemigos y que nos horroricen con nuevas ideas. En otras palabras, que la lien! / When John Waters delivered his gleefully subversive advice to the graduates of the Rhode Island School of Design, the speech went viral, in part because it was so brilliantly on point about making a living as a creative person. Now we can all enjoy his sly wisdom in a manifesto that reminds us, no matter what field we choose, to embrace chaos, be nosy, and outrage our critics. Anyone embarking on a creative path, he tells us, would do well to realize that pragmatism and discipline are as important as talent and that rejection is nothing to fear. Waters advises young people to eavesdrop, listen to their enemies, and horrify us with new ideas. In other words, MAKE TROUBLE!
