«Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story» is Chuck Klosterman's autobiographical essay, published by Scribner in paperback (272 pages, in English).
The author drives over 6,500 miles to visit places where rock stars died, from the Chelsea Hotel to the Lynyrd Skynyrd crash and Kurt Cobain's house. Over twenty-one days, between the end of three relationships and popular culture, he reflects on death, love, and why dying seems like a musician's best move.
The back cover mentions its inclusion in Entertainment Weekly's and The Village Voice's best-of-2005 lists.
For readers of nonfiction and essays interested in popular culture, rock, and travel narratives with a personal voice.
