Synopsis
For 6,557 miles, Chuck Klosterman thought about dying. He drove a rental car from New York to Rhode Island to Georgia to Mississippi to Iowa to Minneapolis to Fargo to Seattle, and he chased death and rock 'n' roll all the way. Within the span of twenty-one days, Chuck had three relationships end--one by choice, one by chance, and one by exhaustion. The road is hard. From the Chelsea Hotel to the swampland where Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane went down to the site where Kurt Cobain blew his head off, Chuck explored every brand of rock star demise. He wanted to know why the greatest career move any musician can make is to stop breathing...and what this means for the rest of us.--From publisher description.

Publisher's Note
The pop culture author of Fargo Rock City and Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs recounts his more than 6,500-mile journey across America, during which he visited the sites of famous rock star deaths and experienced philosophical changes of perspective.

Industry Reviews
"[H]is literary cleverness recalls classic gonzo journalism, but also contains a self-conscious edge, inviting comparison to Dave Eggers. Klosterman...worries his neuroses will brand him as 'the male Elizabeth Wurtzel,' but he needn't fret.... [He] has clearly established that he has a potent voice all his own."
Publishers Weekly (04/18/2005)

"Klosterman's keen eye for American pop-cultural themes and undercurrents facilitates thoughtful observation, and his prose brings those themes and undercurrents together in strange, fresh ways. A treat for the adventurous."
Booklist (05/15/2005)

"[Klosterman] wants us to see how likably messed up he is, and generally succeeds. And when he knuckles down to write about the music that matters to him, he comes up with some surprisingly poetic observations."
New York Times Book Review (07/24/2005)

"A transcontinental road trip mostly along the byways and back roads of Spin magazine writer Klosterman's own head, resulting in an enjoyable, polyphonic interior monologue."
Kirkus (04/01/2005)
