Detailed item info

Synopsis
Chuck Klosterman's series of essays on pop culture's interaction with real life is an exploration of our obsession with celebrity, what drives it, and how frequently the lines between entertainment and reality become blurred. It's also an entertaining tour around the inside of Klosterman's brain--few subjects seem to exist that he can't squeeze some meaning and intellectual parallels out of, be they Internet porn, STAR WARS, or the MTV show THE REAL WORLD. A diatribe against soccer turns into a meditation on how bad refereeing reflects life, while his ruminations on the nature of reality, as portrayed in the movies VANILLA SKY and MEMENTO, lead to a fascinating questionnaire that is as challenging as it is entertaining.

Publisher's Note
Countless writers and artists have spoken for a generation, but no one has done it quite like 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 entire spectrum of postmodern America: reality TV, Internet porn, Pamela Anderson, literary Jesus freaks, and the real difference between apples and oranges (of which there is none). And don't even get him started on his love life and the whole Harry-Met-Sally situation.

Whether deconstructing Saved by the Bell episodes or the artistic legacy of Billy Joel, the symbolic importance of The Empire Strikes Back or the Celtics/Lakers rivalry, Chuck will 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, politics, and kittens, but -- really -- it's about us. All of us. As Klosterman realizes late at night, in the moment before he falls asleep, "In and of itself, nothing really matters. What matters is that nothing is ever 'in and of itself.'" Read to believe.

Explores a range of modern cultural phenomenon, including Internet pornography, tribute bands, baseball rivalries, and reality television.

The author of Fargo Rock City explores a range of modern cultural phenomena, including Internet pornography, tribute bands, baseball rivalries, and reality television, as he explores the role of the media in American life. Reprint. 100,000 first printing.
