Author of the Month: Chuck Klosterman

Chuck Klosterman is one of the most insightful writers on contemporary popular culture. He lives it, he understands it, and he explores it with intelligence and wit in such bestselling books as Fargo Rock City (2001), Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs (2003), and Killing Yourself to Live (2005). He is a columnist for Esquire and has written for GQ, Spin, The New York Times Magazine, and The Believer.

Downtown Owl is his first novel. Somewhere in North Dakota is a town called Owl, where disco is over and punk never happened. They don't have cable. They count grain prices and drink a lot of alcohol. People work hard and then they die. This is a darkly comic novel of how it feels to exist in a community where rural mythology and violent reality are pretty much the same thing.
