A review by ericfheiman
Eating the Dinosaur by Chuck Klosterman

5.0

Whereas Wells Tower's collection of short stories is the work of fiction I wish I had written, "Eating the Dinosaur" is its cultural criticism counterpart. Simultaneously ambitious and accessible, insightful and funny—if only all criticism could be like this! Only Klosterman could mine such profundity from topics such as Weezer, Ralph Sampson, watching professional football, and ABBA. The last essay on the Unabomber and the internet is required reading for anyone concerned with the collision of culture and technology.
