Download Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto (Now with a New Middle) AudioBook Free
Countless writers and artists have spoken for a generation, but no-one has done it that can compare with Chuck Klosterman. With an exhaustive knowledge of popular culture and an almost effortless ability to spin brilliant prose out of unlikely subject matter, Klosterman attacks the whole spectral range of postmodern America: reality TV, Pamela Anderson and literary Jesus freaks. And don't even get him started on his love life and the complete Harry-Met-Sally situation.
Whether deconstructing Saved by the Bell episodes or the artistic legacy of Billy Joel, the symbolic need for The Empire Strikes Back or the Celtics/ Lakers rivalry, Chuck can make you think, he'll make you laugh, and he'll drive you insane -- usually all at once. Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs is ostensibly about art, entertainment, infotainment, sports, and politics but -- really -- it's about us. All of us. As Klosterman realizes late at night, in as soon as before he falls asleep, "In and of itself, nothing really matters. What counts is that there is nothing ever 'in and of itself.'"
