Chuck Klosterman has created an incomparable body of work in books, magazines, newspapers, and on the Web.

Klosterman has written nine previous books, helped found and establish Grantland, served as the New York Times MagazineEthicist, worked on film and television productions, and contributed profiles and essays to outlets such asGQ, Esquire,Billboard, The A.V.
