Robert Lanham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Lanham (born 1971 in Richmond, Virginia) is the author of the satiric books The Hipster Handbook, Food Court Druids, Cherohonkees and Other Creatures Unique to the Republic and The Sinner's Guide to the Evangelical Right. He coined the term "idiosyncrology," the study of idiosyncratic people, and his books often parody the eccentric people one finds in the United States. Neal Pollack calls Lanham "the Margaret Mead of the North American Weirdo." Lanham is also the editor of FREEwilliamsburg (est. 1999), a website covering the arts and culture of the artist mecca Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Lanham lives in Brooklyn, New York.
