BONUS: Chuck Klosterman's 'The Nineties' feat. Alex Ross

Published: March 9, 2022, 3:43 p.m.

b'University of Toronto PhD candidate and writer Alex Ross joins to discuss culture writer Chuck Klosterman\'s latest collection \'The Nineties\'. The book is a confounding, myopic work that frequently reveals both the sociopolitical blind spots of its author & the greater failures of Gen X to understand the decade\'s ramifications. We talk through the frenzied, dizzying construction of the book around a hodgepodge of discrete cultural markers, the books troubling lack of anything approaching a worldview, and the writer\'s baffling defense against what he calls Clinton "revisionism".\\n\\nFollow Alex Ross on Twitter\\n\\nRead David Wallace-Wells\'s interview with Klosterman at Vulture\\n\\nConsider becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month to get access to all of our premium episodes and bonus content.\\n.\\n.\\n.\\n.\\nOur theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish'
