Description

With an exhaustive knowledge of popular culture and an effortless ability to spin brilliant prose out of unlikely subject matter, Klosterman attacks the entire spectrum of post-modern America: reality TV, Internet porn, breakfast cereal, serial killers, Pamela Anderson, literary Jesus freaks, and the real difference between apples and oranges (of which there is none).


Rebellious and entertaining, Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs is ostensibly about movies, sports, television, music, books, video games and kittens, by a writer who truly speaks for a generation.

Reviews

"San Francisco Chronicle"

The reigning Kasparov of pop culture wits-matching.


"GQ"

Quintessential Klosterman -- sometimes exasperating but almost always engaging.


"The Onion" a.v. club

One of the brightest pieces of pop analysis to appear this century.


"The Washington Post"

Maddeningly smart and funny...[Klosterman's] good humor, compassion, and raw associative powers put him in the same league as Nick Hornby and Douglas Coupland, though he's a more tenacious critic than either.
