Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas - Paperback
by Chuck Klosterman (Author)
Coming off the breakthrough success of Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs and Killing Yourself to Live, bestselling essayist and pop culture critic Chuck Klosterman assembles his best music journalism and media commentary previously unavailable in book form--including the groundbreaking 1996 piece about his chicken McNuggets experiment, his uncensored profile of Britney Spears, and a previously unpublished short story--all recontextualized in Chuck's unique voice with new intros, outros, segues, and masterful footnotes.
Chuck Klosterman IV consists of three parts: Things That Are True--Profiles and trend stories: Britney Spears, Radiohead, Billy Joel, Metallica, Val Kilmer, Bono, Wilco, the White Stripes, Steve Nash, Morrissey, Robert Plant--all with new introductions and footnotes. Things That Might Be True--Opinions and theories on everything from monogamy to pirates to robots to super people to guilt, and (of course) Advancement--all with new hypothetical questions and footnotes. Something That Isn't True At All--This is old fiction. There's a new introduction, but no footnotes. Well, there's a footnote in the introduction, but none in the story.Chuck Klosterman is the bestselling author of ten nonfiction books (including The Nineties; Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs; and But What If We're Wrong?), two novels (Downtown Owl and The Visible Man), and the short story collection Raised in Captivity. He has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Esquire, Spin, The Guardian, The Believer, and ESPN.
