Chuck Klosterman writes essays and cultural criticism about music, sport, celebrity, media and the way popular culture shapes personal beliefs. Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs collects pieces on subjects ranging from reality television and video games to heavy metal and romantic expectations, using seemingly trivial topics to reach broader arguments about taste and identity. Killing Yourself to Live combines a road trip with reflections on dead musicians and the mythology built around them, while But What If We're Wrong? asks how present-day assumptions might look from the future. Klosterman's prose is conversational, digressive and argumentative, with jokes and thought experiments carrying much of the momentum. His work fits pop-culture criticism, music writing and personal essays. Read more Less
