Raised in Captivity by Chuck Klosterman
If Saul Steinberg and Italo Calvino had adopted a child from a Romanian orphanage and raised him on Gary Larsen and Thomas Bernhard, he would still be nothing like Chuck Klosterman. They might be good company, though. Funny, wise and weird in equal measure, Raised in Captivity bids fair to be one of the most original and exciting story collections in recent memory. Ceaselessly inventive, hostile to corniness in all its forms, and mean only to the things that really deserve it, it marks a cosmic leap forward for one of our most consistently interesting writers.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.
