  <description><![CDATA[A major national media event when published in hardcover, this startlingly original work of fiction introduces a new side of a well-known personality.  <p>Meet Junior. He does not know how to write a book. (Except -- maybe -- for this one.) His therapist says he has issues with closure. (Granted, this book has seven endings.) This is not a novel. (Everything in it is entirely true -- except for the large portions that are completely fictional.) And finally, Junior has no issues with his father. (Nope, really, not a single one.)  <p>In a dizzying kaleidoscope of words and images, Macaulay Culkin takes readers on a twisted tour to the darkest corners of his fertile imagination. Part memoir, part rant, part comedic tour de force, <em>Junior</em> is full of the hard-won wisdom of Culkin's quest to come to terms with the awesome pressures of childhood mega-stardom and family dysfunction. Searingly honest, brain-teasingly inventive, <em>Junior</em> is breathtaking proof that Culkin has found his own utterly original voice.</p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Junior would like to get a few things off his chest. He does not know how to write a book. (Except [maybe] for this one.) He does not like books with introductions. (So this book has six of them.) His therapist says he has issues with closure. (Granted, this book has seven endings.) This is not a novel. (Everything in it is entirely true - except for the large portions that are completely fictional.) And finally, Junior has no issues with his father. (Nope, really, not a single one.) In a dizzying kaleidoscope of words and images, actor and writer Macaulay Culkin takes readers on a twisted tour to the darkest corners of his fertile imagination. Part memoir, part rant, part comedic tour de force, Junior is full of the hard-won wisdom of Culkin's quest to come to terms with the awesome pressures of childhood mega-stardom and family dysfunction. He understands that &quot;having fun and being happy are two totally different things,&quot; yet at the same time he warns, &quot;the end of the world is coming - and Im going to have unfinished business.&quot; Searingly honest and brain- teasingly inventive, Junior is breathtaking proof that Culkin has found his own utterly original voice.]]>

    <![CDATA[A major national media event when published in hardcover, this startlingly original work of fiction introduces a new side of a well-known personality.  <p>Meet Junior. He does not know how to write a book. (Except -- maybe -- for this one.) His therapist says he has issues with closure. (Granted, this book has seven endings.) This is not a novel. (Everything in it is entirely true -- except for the large portions that are completely fictional.) And finally, Junior has no issues with his father. (Nope, really, not a single one.)  <p>In a dizzying kaleidoscope of words and images, Macaulay Culkin takes readers on a twisted tour to the darkest corners of his fertile imagination. Part memoir, part rant, part comedic tour de force, <em>Junior</em> is full of the hard-won wisdom of Culkin's quest to come to terms with the awesome pressures of childhood mega-stardom and family dysfunction. Searingly honest, brain-teasingly inventive, <em>Junior</em> is breathtaking proof that Culkin has found his own utterly original voice.</p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[So, I'm not a big fan of Macaulay Culkin at all. I found this book while browsing through the library and the first pages made me laugh, so I checked it out. It's not a story, it's not really anything, but I think that's the point. It's just complete randomness and for some reason or another I enjoy...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71260913">more...</a>]]></body>

(Nope, really, not a single one.)  <p>In a dizzying kaleidoscope of words and images, Macaulay Culkin takes readers on a twisted tour to the darkest corners of his fertile imagination. Part memoir, part rant, part comedic tour de force, <em>Junior</em> is full of the hard-won wisdom of Culkin's quest to come to terms with the awesome pressures of childhood mega-stardom and family dysfunction. Searingly honest, brain-teasingly inventive, <em>Junior</em> is breathtaking proof that Culkin has found his own utterly original voice.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Junior would like to get a few things off his chest. He does not know how to write a book. (Except [maybe] for this one.) He does not like books with introductions. (So this book has six of them.) His therapist says he has issues with closure. (Granted, this book has seven endings.) This is not a novel. (Everything in it is entirely true - except for the large portions that are completely fictional.) And finally, Junior has no issues with his father. (Nope, really, not a single one.) In a dizzying kaleidoscope of words and images, actor and writer Macaulay Culkin takes readers on a twisted tour to the darkest corners of his fertile imagination. Part memoir, part rant, part comedic tour de force, Junior is full of the hard-won wisdom of Culkin's quest to come to terms with the awesome pressures of childhood mega-stardom and family dysfunction. He understands that &quot;having fun and being happy are two totally different things,&quot; yet at the same time he warns, &quot;the end of the world is coming - and Im going to have unfinished business.&quot; Searingly honest and brain- teasingly inventive, Junior is breathtaking proof that Culkin has found his own utterly original voice.]]>

    <![CDATA[A major national media event when published in hardcover, this startlingly original work of fiction introduces a new side of a well-known personality.  <p>Meet Junior. He does not know how to write a book. (Except -- maybe -- for this one.) His therapist says he has issues with closure. (Granted, this book has seven endings.) This is not a novel. (Everything in it is entirely true -- except for the large portions that are completely fictional.) And finally, Junior has no issues with his father. (Nope, really, not a single one.)  <p>In a dizzying kaleidoscope of words and images, Macaulay Culkin takes readers on a twisted tour to the darkest corners of his fertile imagination. Part memoir, part rant, part comedic tour de force, <em>Junior</em> is full of the hard-won wisdom of Culkin's quest to come to terms with the awesome pressures of childhood mega-stardom and family dysfunction. Searingly honest, brain-teasingly inventive, <em>Junior</em> is breathtaking proof that Culkin has found his own utterly original voice.</p></p>]]>
