Con el paso de los años, John Waters se ha convertido en una de las figuras de referencia no solo del cine underground estadounidense, sino de la cultura pop en general. En su larga trayectoria, que abarca desde clásicos de la inmundicia como Multiple Maniacs, Pink Flamingos o Cosa de hembras hasta títulos más mainstream como Hairspray o Los asesinatos de mamá, el cineasta de Baltimore ha ido repitiendo una serie de obsesiones temáticas y formales que merecían ser estudiadas en un solo libro. ¡Larga vida al trash! El cine de John Waters como nunca te lo habían contado es un homenaje a un director que, acompañado por una troupe de actrices y actores incondicionales —los denominados dreamlanders— como Mink Stole, Patricia Hearst, Susan Lowe y, sobre todo, la mítica Divine, forzó los límites de lo que estaba permitido ver en la gran pantalla con grandes dosis de humor, irreverencia y transgresión. Entre las autoras y autores que han querido sumarse a este tributo a John Waters se encuentran Valeria Vegas, Esty Quesada (también conocida como Soy una pringada), el director de cine Adrián Silvestre, los críticos de cine Javier Parra (autor de Scream Queer), Álex Mendíbil y Xavi Sánchez Pons, el investigador Carlos Barea o Álex Ander, autor de la primera monografía sobre Divine.

Un volumen colectivo que profundiza en la figura de Ocaña, uno de los artistas más admirados, libres y transgresores de los años de la Transición.¿Qué tiene la figura de José Pérez Ocaña que, cuarenta años después de su muerte, sigue despertando admiración? Ocaña. El eterno brillo del Sol de Cantillana es un volumen colectivo coordinado por Carlos Barea que trata de responder a esta pregunta a través de una mirada multidisciplinar a la vida y la obra de uno de los artistas más destacados de la contracultura catalana de finales de los años setenta y principios de los ochenta.Con la intención de arrojar algo de luz sobre un personaje del que mucho se ha dicho pero poco se ha escrito, el libro reúne a un gran plantel de autoras y autores que se han encargado de investigar su trabajo y todo aquello que rodeó su figura: desde su sexilio casi forzado a su obsesión por el imaginario religioso en sus pinturas o performances, pasando por un análisis del contexto artístico-cultural en el que se desenvolvió.Además de textos de personas tan cercanas a Ocaña como el director de cine Ventura Pons, su amigo íntimo Nazario o una entrevista a su hermano mellizo, se incluyen dos documentos inéditos: un relato biográfico firmado por el propio artista y una carta de su puño y letra que escribió a Felipe de Paco. Ocaña. El eterno brillo del Sol de Cantillana es, en definitiva, un libro que pretende desentrañar el misterio de un artista absolutamente libre que se marchó vestido de sol y cuyo resplandor ha llegado hasta nuestros días.
