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
