Klosterman's unique voice is never less than right out in the open." - Los Angeles Times, "Klosterman has conjured up a novel that manages to be both wildly experimental and accessible, while making perceptive observations about privacy, human nature, and of course, the author's forte, pop culture."-Entertainment Weekly (A-), "Hidden beneath The Visible Man 's kaleidoscopic structure and high-wire stunts in an irrefutable narrative logic. And like Y__, Klosterman knows when to get out of the way. . . . All fiction should be so sly."-NPR.org, "Richly drawn and dryly funny...Klosterman is terrifically expressive, funny company.... Klosterman's unique voice is never less than right out in the open." -- Los Angeles Times

SynopsisNew York Timesbestselling author Chuck Klosterman's second novel-"a tour de force exploration of intimacy and voyeurism" (Publishers Weekly)., New York Times bestselling author of Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs and Downtown Owl , "the Ethicist" of the New York Times Magazine , Chuck Klosterman returns to fiction with his second novel--an imaginative page-turner about a therapist and her unusual patient, a man who can render himself invisible. Therapist Victoria Vick is contacted by a cryptic, unlikable man who insists his situation is unique and unfathomable. As he slowly reveals himself, Vick becomes convinced that he suffers from a complex set of delusions: Y__, as she refers to him, claims to be a scientist who has stolen cloaking technology from an aborted government project in order to render himself nearly invisible. He says he uses this ability to observe random individuals within their daily lives, usually when they are alone and vulnerable. Unsure of his motives or honesty, Vick becomes obsessed with her patient and the disclosure of his increasingly bizarre and disturbing tales. Over time, it threatens her career, her marriage, and her own identity. Interspersed with notes, correspondence, and transcriptions that catalog a relationship based on curiosity and fear, The Visible Man touches on all of Chuck Klosterman's favorite themes--the consequence of culture, the influence of media, the complexity of voyeurism, and the existential contradiction of normalcy. Is this comedy, criticism, or horror? Not even Y__ seems to know for sure.
