Klosterman at Akron library Oct. 20

Former BJ staffer Chuck Klosterman will be The Main Event Speaker Series' star at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20, at the Akron Main Library Auditorium.

Chuck will be pushing his latest book, "The Invisible Man," (Simon & Schuster) which Publisher's Weekly describes as a "tour de force exploration of intimacy and voyeurism."
His other books include "Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs," "Fargo Rock City" and "Downtown Owl."

Charles John Klosterman was born June 5, 1972, in Breckenridge, Minnesota, but was raised on a farm near Wyndmere, North Dakota, and is a 1994 University of North Dakota graduate. He left Akron for New York City in 2002.

If Klosterman is as entertaining and informative as PD television critic and former BJ TV/movies critic Mark Dawidziak and Kent's Paul Bauer were last night in their Main Event appearances discussing their book, "Tully: American Writer, Irish Rover, Hollywood Brawler," then you'll be in for a treat. Jim Tully was a famous Hollywood writer of the 1920s through 1940s who preceded Walter Winchell and has connections to Kent and Akron. It is Dawidziak's 12th book.
