Sex, drugs, and cocoa puffs : a low culture manifesto / Chuck Klosterman. by Klosterman, Chuck, 1972- Scribner, c2004. Call #: 306.0973 K66s Subjects Klosterman, Chuck, 1972-   Journalists -- United States -- Biography.   Novelists, American -- 21st century -- Biography.   Authors, American -- 21st century -- Biography.   Popular culture.   Generation X. ISBN:  9780743236010 (pbk.) 0743236017 (pbk.) Edition:  1st Scribner trade pbk. ed. Description:  253 p. ; 21 cm. Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  Ostensibly about art, entertainment, infotainment, sports, politics, and kittens, but really it's about us. All of us. Klosterman attacks the entire spectrum of our postmodern American culture: 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. 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.'" Genre:  Essays.
