Downtown Owl, the new Chuck Klosterman novel due Sept. 16 from Scribner, is the celebrated cultural critic's first full-length work of fiction. It might also be the first book ever described as a "colder, Reagan-era version of The Last Picture Show fused with Friday Night Lights." That's from the publisher boilerplate. But if you want to know what Klosterman thinks about stuff like time travel, Daniel Plainview, and the greatest album from every year he's been alive -- all 36 of them -- read all about it in the Popmatters Q&A.

You can read chapter one of D-Owl -- entitled "Mitch" -- at the book's Amazon listing. I hummed Explosions in the Sky, like, the whole time. |
