In the foreword of his name-making debut Fargo Rock City, Chuck Klosterman showed real moxie by printing his phone number for readers to ring. Since then, he's been called everything from hack to rural hipster — even the "next Hunter S. Thompson." Through all the name-calling, Klosterman's preoccupation has remained the same: to analyze pop culture's larger-than-life and marginal players in an assured, relateable voice. Tonight, the love-him-or-hate-him essayist reads from his first work of fiction, Downtown Owl, which tracks three strangers who contemplate normalcy in their pop-culture-free podunk town of Owl, North Dakota.
