Michael Moore-Oscar-winning filmmaker, bestselling author, and the nation’s official provocateur laureate-is back, this time taking on an entirely new function, that of his own meta-Forrest Gump. Smashing the autobiographical mold, Moore presents twenty-four far-ranging, irreverent, and stranger-than-fiction vignettes from his personal early lifestyle. One moment he’s an eleven-year-old boy dropped in the U.S. Senate and discovered by Bobby Kennedy; and in the next, he’s in the Bitburg cemetery with a dazed about Here Comes Difficulty: Tales from MY ENTIRE LIFE and puzzled Ronald Reagan. Fast-forwarding to 2003, he stuns the world from your Oscar stage by uttering the words ‘We live in fictitious times . having a fictitious president’ in place of the usual ‘I’d like to thank the Academy.’ And none of that also comes close to the night time the friendly priest in the seminary decides to show him how exactly to perform his personal exorcism. Recording the zeitgeist of days gone by fifty years, yet deeply personal and unflinchingly honest, HERE COMES TROUBLE will take readers on an memorable, take-no-prisoners trip through the life and situations of Michael Moore. Alternately funny, eye-opening, and moving, it’s the reserve he continues to be writing-and living-his entire life.
