description: I had an unusually large-sized head though this was not uncommon for a baby in the Midwest. The craniums in our part of the country were designed to leave a little extra room for the brain to grow in case one day we found ourselves exposed to something we didn't understand like a foreign language or a salad. Michael Moore-Oscar-winning filmmaker bestselling author the nation's unofficial provocateur laureate-is back this time taking on an entirely new role that of his own meta- Forrest Gump . Breaking the autobiographical mode he presents twenty-four far-ranging irreverent and stranger-than-fiction vignettes from his own early life. One moment he's an eleven-year-old boy lost in the Senate and found by Bobby Kennedy; and in the next he's inside the Bitburg cemetery with a dazed and confused Ronald Reagan. Fast-forwarding to 2003 he stuns the world by uttering the words We live in fictitious times... with a fictitious president in place of the expected I'd like to thank the Academy. And none of that even comes close to the night the friendly priest at the seminary decides to show him how to perform his own exorcism. Capturing the zeitgeist of the past fifty years yet deeply personal and unflinchingly honest HERE COMES TROUBLE takes readers on an unforgettable take-no-prisoners ride through the life and times of Michael Moore. No one will come away from this book without a sense of surprise about the Michael Moore most of us didn't know. Alternately funny eye-opening and moving it's a book he has been writing-and living-his entire life.
