In Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs as well as in IV, Klosterman writes a series of hypothetical questions–in Sex, Drugs, the questions are right after the chapter “The Lady or the Tiger,” and the first paragraph starts off with…”The twenty-three questions I ask everybody I meet in order to decide if I can really love them.” In IV, they begin with the section “Things That Might Be True.” Each of the essays in that section has a hypothetical before the essay.
Write TEN of your own hypotheticals, within the Klosterman tradition of hypotheticals. They should do exactly what his do–that is, give a kind of story and/or context for the question that you are asking. Set up the question with clues as to how that question should be answered. And as in all of his own hypos, there should be no RIGHT answer to yours, but there definitely should be a RIGHTER answer to yours. So write ten of your own, the longer the better.
