The Visible Man by Chuck
Klosterman
Klosterman is bright, fun, and
funny. His new novel, The Visible Man, is both silly and insightful at times.
At worst, the main character is an interesting, creepy prick, who CK uses to
make some clever observations about modern middle America. He’s also so playful
and borderline DFW in his linguistic byplay, that I can’t help but really
enjoying most of what goes on here.
That said, the best parts of
this book are the excerpts from his upcoming book of essays. The bit about
Batman and Bernard Goetz made me excited for more Klosterman wit and
observation.
