![]() ![]() ![]() InsideHook: I looked at The Nineties as a series of overviews or origin stories on how events in the ‘90s happened and what their impact was. This interview has been edited for clarity and space. In Klosterman’s mind, the ‘90s are the “the last decade that’s going to exist” the book is an analysis of a deceptively simpler time.ĭuring an hour-long phone conversation last week, Klosterman, who lives in Portland, Oregon, spoke with InsideHook about his most recent effort and the collateral damage, from how social media affects its perception (please abstain from saying The Nineties is “nostalgic”) to the burden of being a successful author. Klosterman’s latest book, The Nineties (Penguin Press, $28.00, out now), is free of his typical observational musings in favor of an astute, clear-eyed look at the decade that brought us into the non-stop stargate sequence that is the 2000s. The end could come just as suddenly.įor now, though, he’s still here. The popularity of Fargo Rock City came from nowhere. In fact, he freely admits his career path was a product of equal parts luck and timing. ![]() But the co-creator of Grantland can’t shake the feeling. The cultural critic and self-described “generalist” has enjoyed great success since the release of Fargo Rock City in 2001: a bushel of best-selling non-fiction books, two novels, columnist gigs at Esquire and the New York Times. Chuck Klosterman fears it could end at any moment. ![]()
