An instant New York Times bestseller!

"Informative, endlessly entertaining."-BuzzFeed

"Generation X's definitive chronicler of culture."-GQ

From the author of But What If We're Wrong comes an insightful, funny reckoning with a pivotal decade

It was long ago, but not as long as it seems: The Berlin Wall fell and theTwin Towers collapsed. In between, one presidential election was allegedly decided by Ross Perot while another was plausibly decided by Ralph Nader. Landlines fell to cell phones, the internet exploded, and pop culture accelerated without the aid of technology that remembered everything. Itwas the last era with a real mainstream to either identify with or oppose. The '90s brought about a revolution in the human condition, and a shift in consciousness, that we're still struggling to understand. Happily, Chuck Klosterman is more than up to the job.

InThe Nineties, Klosterman dissects the film, the music, the sports, the TV, the pre-9/11 politics, the changes regarding race and class and sexuality, the yin/yang of Oprah and Alan Greenspan, and (almost) everything else. The result is a multidimensional masterpiece, a work of synthesis so smart and delightful that future historians might well refer to this entire period asKlostermanian.

Chuck Klosterman is the author of six nonfiction books (including Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs and I Wear the Black Hat) and two novels (Downtown Owl and The Visible Man), all of which have been bestselling. He's contributed to publications such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, GQ, Esquire, Spin, The Guardian, The Believer, Billboard, and The A.V. Club. Club, as well as ESPN. Klosterman worked for three years as The Ethicist for The New York Times Magazine, participated in the LCD Soundsystem documentary Shut Up and Play the Hits as himself, and co-founded Grantland with Bill Simmons. He is a native of North Dakota, and he and his wife, Entertainment Weekly TV reviewer Melissa Maerz, currently reside in Brooklyn.
