University of Alaska’s Bartlett Lecture Series proudly presents Chuck Klosterman, author of Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs and Downtown Owl, at the Wood Center Ballroom on Tuesday, March 31 at 7:00pm. This is a free lecture.

One of the most singular and exciting cultural critics in America, Chuck Klosterman captures, better than any other writer of his generation, what it feels like to navigate our pop-obsessed, media-saturated culture. In bestsellers like Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs, he shows us why "pop" is a conversation anyone can join in on, and why it matters. Called "ridiculously engaging" by The New York Times, he is not a detached academic, deconstructing pop culture at arm's-length, with a deadening sterility; he's a regular guy whose intellectual curiosity is insatiable, infectious and surprisingly insightful.

Called "One of America's top cultural critics" by Entertainment Weekly, Chuck Klosterman is the bestselling author of four non-fiction books, including Killing Yourself to Live and Fargo, Rock City, of which Stephen King said, "writing about pop culture doesn't get any better than this, or funnier." The Onion called his classic Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs "one of the brightest pieces of pop analysis to appear this Century." Chuck Klosterman 4 collects his best interviews and essays. Downtown Owl, his darkly comedic first novel, was released to rave reviews in September 2008.

The UAF Bookstore will be doing a book signing at the event! You can grab one of his books there and have Klosterman sign it.
