Chuck Klosterman: A Guide to Chuck Klosterman Books

Chuck Klosterman has quickly become one of my favorite writers and I’ve

since been fighting to get my hands on each of his books (see below).

Chuck Klosterman is a cultural critic who is as hip as his witty, as

sharp as he is funny, and as twisted as he is well spoken. The end

results are books that are as much cultural commentaries as they are

addictive and enjoyable. Chuck Klosterman is a senior writer at Spin

Magazine and a columnist for Esquire. He has written for The New York

Times Magazine, the Washington Post, The Village Voice and GQ. The list

of his books - all of which have received critical acclaim - sits

below. Do yourself and favor and pick up the books - you will struggle

to put them down and wear a smile during each read!

Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs : A Low Culture Manifesto

by Chuck Klosterman

“The funniest thing I’ve read in an ice age….Chuck Klosterman is a

Gulliver among the cult-crit Lilliputians. America should wrap her

freckled arms around Klosterman’s scrawny neck and press him to her

bosom. He may be the last true patriot among us.” Gary Shteyngart

“The book I’m touring in support of is Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs,

which is a collection of eighteen essays about low culture; this is

stuff like MTV’s The Real World, serial killers, a Guns N’ Roses

tribute band, the Lakers-Celtics rivalry from the 1980s, the Left

Behind book series, Pamela Anderson, John Cusack, and Saved by the

Bell. These eighteen essays are connected by seventeen mini-essays,

most of which are just weird.” - Chuck Klosterman

Killing Yourself to Live : 85% of a True Story

by Chuck Klosterman

“I can’t think of a more sheerly likable writer than Chuck Klosterman

and his old-fashioned, all-American voice: big-hearted and direct,

bright and unironic, optimistic and amiable, self-deprecating and

reassuring ?with a captivating lack of fuss or pretension. He’s also

genuinely funny and I pretty much agree with everything he says.” Bret

Easton Ellis

Fargo Rock City: A Heavy Metal Odyssey in Rural North Dakota

by Chuck Klosterman

“Writing about American pop culture doesn’t get any better than this, or any funnier, or any more readable.” Stephen King
