I want to show you different versions of first-person pieces.
The first is a story of inaction by a person trying to embrace his inner Hunter S. Thompson.
The second speaks of the importance of having well-chosen foes in your life. It is by Chuck Klosterman, the fellow in the photo above. If you aren’t familiar with Klosterman’s hilarious and well written pieces, you should check out any of his collections of essays. His most recent is called Eating the Dinosaur.
