Killing Yourself to Live by Chuck Klosterman

Killing Yourself to Live by Chuck Klosterman

For 6,557 miles, from New York to Mississippi to Seattle, Chuck Klosterman decided to chase rock 'n' roll and death across a continent. 21 days later, after three relationships, an encounter with various cottonmouth snakes, and a night spent snorting cocaine in a graveyard, Klosterman started to order his thoughts on American culture and the meaning of celebrity. Uproariously funny, smart and hip, "Killing Yourself To Live" is a philosophical meditation on life, death, celebrity, rock 'n' roll, why the greatest career move any musician can make is to stop breathing...and what that means for the rest of us.

"'I can't think of a more sheerly likeable writer than Chuck Klosterman.. big-hearted and direct, bright and unironic, optimistic and amiable, self-deprecating and reassuring.' Bret Easton Ellis 'Thank God Chuck lives the life he does and writes the way he writes about it. It's not just autobiography; it's a vital form of truth, and he's the real thing.' Douglas Coupland"

Chuck Klosterman is the author of the legendary memoir, Fargo Rock City, and Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs. He was born in North Dakota and lives in New York City.
