Description:    

One of the most singular and exciting cultural critics in America, Chuck Klosterman captures, better than any other writer of his generation, what it feels like to navigate our pop-obsessed, media-saturated culture. In bestsellers like Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs, he shows us why “pop” is a conversation anyone can join in on, and why it’s worth talking about in the first place. Called “ridiculously engaging” by The New York Times, he is not a detached academic, deconstructing pop culture at arm’s-length, with a deadening sterility; he’s a regular guy whose intellectual curiosity is insatiable, infectious and surprisingly insightful.


Called “One of America’s top cultural critics” by Entertainment Weekly, Chuck Klosterman is the bestselling author of four non-fiction books, including Killing Yourself to Live and Fargo, Rock City, of which Stephen King said, “writing about pop culture doesn’t get any better than this, or funnier.” The Onion called his classic Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs “one of the brightest pieces of pop analysis to appear this Century.” His latest book, Chuck Klosterman 4, collects his best interviews and essays, many of them from Esquire, where he writes a monthly column. Downtown Owl, his darkly comedic first novel, was released to rave reviews in September 2008.
