He's talking about dreams here, the destiny that calls every living soul to some kind of greatness. What Mr. Twain doesn't say is: A dream is also a monster that wants to eat you. Nobody tells you this part of the American Dream -- until now. In this new memoir, \u003cem\u003eCongratulations Who Are You Again\u003c\/em\u003e, readers join Harrison Scott Key on his outrageous journey to becoming a great American writer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a young boy in Mississippi, Harrison possessed many special gifts, such as the ability to read and complete college applications. And yet, throughout young adulthood, he failed at many vocations, until one day, after drinking perhaps too many beers and dusting off his King James Bible, he stumbled across a passage about a lonely pelican, which burst into flame inside him. In a mad blaze of holy illumination, Harrison realized his dream: to set the world afire with the light inside him. He would write a funny book. This was his dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith unforgettable wit and tenderness, \u003cem\u003eCongratulations Who Are You Again \u003c\/em\u003eis Harrison's instructive tale of pursuing his destiny with relentless and often misguided devotion, transforming his life beyond all comprehension: He becomes a signer of autographs, a doer of interviews, a casher of checks that are \"worth more money than my father had ever imagined any of us might see, this side of a drug-related felony.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn this journey, Harrison finds that as he gains the world, he stands on the precipice of losing everything that means the most: his family, his mind, his soul. Hilarious, honest, and absolutely practical, \u003cem\u003eCongratulations Who Are You Again\u003c\/em\u003e is a no-holds-barred look at the life of every ambitious human creature, whether you want to write books or make music, start a business or start a revolution.
