Chuck Klosterman has chronicled rock music,
film, and sports for almost fifteen years. He’s
covered extreme metal, extreme nostalgia, disposable
art, disposable heroes, life on the road, life through the
television, urban uncertainty, and small-town weird-
ness. Through a variety of mediums and with a
multitude of motives, he’s written about everything he
can think of (and a lot that he’s forgotten). The world
keeps accelerating, but the pop ideas keep coming.
In Eating the Dinosaur, Klosterman is more enter-
taining and incisive than ever. Whether he’s dissecting
the boredom of voyeurism, the reason why music
fans inevitably hate their favorite band’s latest album,
or why we love watching can’t-miss superstars fail
spectacularly, Klosterman remains obsessed with the
relationship between expectation, reality, and living
history. It’s amateur anthropology for the present
tense, and sometimes it’s incredibly funny.
