New York Times–bestselling author and cultural critic Chuck Klosterman presents a unique Audio Companion for Chuck Klosterman X, in which he contextualizes and reads from the collection of his best articles and essays, providing both a fascinating tour of the past decade and an ideal introduction to the mind of one of the sharpest and most prolific observers of our unusual times.
 
Klosterman has created an incomparable body of work in books, magazines, and newspapers, and on the Web. His writing spans the realms of culture and sports, while also addressing interpersonal issues, social quandaries, and ethical boundaries. Klosterman has written nine previous books, helped found and establish Grantland, served as the New York Times Magazine Ethicist, worked on film and television productions, and contributed profiles and essays to outlets such as GQ, Esquire, The A.V. Club, Billboard, and The Guardian.
 
Chuck Klosterman X collects the most intriguing of those pieces, and, for this Audio Companion, Klosterman offers intimate and exclusive commentary about each piece, telling stories about each one, reading excerpts, and relating unexpected asides and digressions. Subjects include Breaking Bad, Lou Reed, zombies, KISS, Jimmy Page, Stephen Malkmus, steroids, Mountain Dew, Chinese Democracy, the Beatles, Jonathan Franzen, Taylor Swift, Tim Tebow, Kobe Bryant, Usain Bolt, Eddie Van Halen, Charlie Brown, the Cleveland Browns, and many more cultural figures and pop phenomena.

      Chuck Klosterman writes about popular culture for publications such as ESQUIRE and THE NEW YORK TIMES. In this self-described audio-commentary, he provides his personal views the essays that were collected in the physical book CHUCK KLOSTERMAN X. To be clear, this audiobook is about the content in that book--but is not the content itself. Klosterman's trademark voice, with its light lisp and somewhat gargling timbre, is enjoyable to listen to as he seems to be speaking off-the-cuff rather than from a script. His musings run the gamut from interviews to musical commentary to discussions of death and other typical Klosterman topics. Packaging this as commentary proves quite effective as listeners feel like they're getting something authentic and original. The production may encourage listeners to pick up the actual book.
