Items related to Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story
Synopsis
For 6,557 miles, from New York to Mississippi to Seattle, Chuck Klosterman decided to chase rock n roll and death across a continent. 21 days later, after three relationships, an encounter with various cottonmouth snakes, and a night spent snorting cocaine in a graveyard, Klosterman started to order his thoughts on American culture and the meaning of celebrity.
Uproariously funny, smart and hip, KILLING YOURSELF TO LIVE is a philosophical meditation on life, death, celebrity, rock n roll, why the greatest career move any musician can make is to stop breathing ... and what that means for the rest of us.

Review
"'I can't think of a more sheerly likeable writer than Chuck Klosterman... big-hearted and direct, bright and unironic, optimistic and amiable, self-deprecating and reassuring.' Bret Easton Ellis 'Thank God Chuck lives the life he does and writes the way he writes about it. It's not just autobiography; it's a vital form of truth, and he's the real thing.' Douglas Coupland"
