KEYNOTE SPEAKER

CHUCK KLOSTERMAN

Pop culture, in all its distracting glitz, isn’t just entertainment. It is culture—American culture. And our most insightful guide is CHUCK KLOSTERMAN. In his bestselling, culture-defining books, he’s pinned down modern America like no one else. And in fun, funny talks, he not only cuts to the bone of our media-saturated moment, but makes it the site of our shared, unlikely commonality.

One of the most exciting cultural critics of our time, Chuck Klosterman is not a detached academic who deconstructs culture at arm’s-length with a deadening sterility. He’s a regular guy whose intellectual curiosity is insatiable, infectious, and surprisingly insightful—showing why “pop” is a conversation that anyone can join in on, and capturing what it feels like to navigate our weird, wired, pop-obsessed moment right now. He is the bestselling author of nine nonfiction books (most notably Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs and I Wear the Black Hat) and three novels (including Downtown Owl and The Visible Man).

Klosterman’s most recent work The Nineties: A Book  is “a superb reassessment of an underappreciated decade from a stupendously gifted essayist” (Booklist starred review). In this instant New York Times bestseller—named one of Amazon’s 20 best History books of the year—Klosterman covers topics from pre-9/11 politics to the battle between Gen X and the Baby Boomers in his usual witty and accessible style. In a starred review, Kirkus says that “As in his previous books of cultural criticism, Klosterman delivers a multifaceted portrait that's both fun and insightful.”

Klosterman’s earlier book Raised in Captivity,  is a collection of surreal short stories “so true they had to be wrapped in fiction for our own protection.” The Washington Post calls it an “engagingly sardonic collection that will leave you, like one of Klosterman’s own bewildered characters, ‘relaxed and confused.’” Another collection, Chuck Klosterman X, compiles and contextualizes the best of his essays from the past decade, with pieces written on everything from Taylor Swift, Jonathan Franzen, and Charlie Brown, to Mountain Dew and steroids. His previous book—debuting in its first week on The New York Times bestsellers list—is But What If We’re Wrong?: Thinking About the Present As If It Were the Past. It’s both an earnest attempt to speculate on what, and how, our culture might transform over time, and a rational inoculation against the dangers of assumption. It dispels the “casual certitude” of our era by imagining what culture might look like 100, 300, or even 1,000 years from now.

Klosterman has written for The Washington Post, The New York Times, SPIN, Esquire, GQ, The Guardian, The Believer, Billboard, The AV Club, and ESPN. He served as The Ethicist for The New York Times Magazine for three years, where he dispensed uncommon wisdom on moral conundrums, and appeared as himself in the LCD Soundsystem documentary Shut Up and Play the Hits. He also created the web site  Grantland with Bill Simmons.
