ROBERT SCHNAKENBERG

ABOUT

Robert Schnakenberg has been called “the Howard Zinn of nerd pop culture.” He is the author of more than a dozen books, including Old Man Drinks, Christopher Walken A-to-Z, Secret Lives of Great Authors, and the New York Times bestseller The Big Bad Book of Bill Murray. His work has appeared in Penthouse.

“The very best wingman you know: filled with enthusiasm for a cornucopia of nerdy fandoms, a proliferator of resonantly poetic discourse on delightfully trivial matters, and just generally a purveyor of excellent party tricks. You don’t mind introducing Schnakenberg to your friends; he always makes you look good.”

—Megan Volpert, Pop Matters

“Schnakenberg is the clown prince of American letters!”

—Jack Canfora, playwright, author of Fellow Travelers

“Schnakenberg looks exactly like the hipster douche his movie tastes suggest he is.”

—David Razi, Twitter user

“Looks like the spawn of Gary Sinise and a Beetlejuice-era Michael Keaton.”

—Anonymous Internet Commenter
