Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs

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.

Chuck Klosterman is the author of Fargo Rock City and Killing Yourself to Live. He is a columnist for Esquire and has written for GQ, Spin, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Believer and ESPN.

We need smart, funny people to make sense of modern life, and Klosterman is both. GQ
