Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas by Chuck Klosterman

4.0

Yet another compilation of essays and observations. This book is divided into three parts: interviews, essays and fiction. Some of the interviews were pretty cool and taught me a lot. Who knew Bono was such a nice guy? Or was he simply playing it up for the journalist? It taught me that Val Kilmer is strange and that Britney Spears is either completely aware of her raw sexuality or completely oblivious. The essays section is very similar to what you would find in Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs. And the fiction part is Klosterman's attempt as non-non-fiction. It's pretty entertaining, and I supposed good enough to prompt him to try a full-length novel, which I have not yet read. IV presents Klosterman's trademark wit, charm, sarcasm and use of footnotes.
