A Complete Encyclopedia of Different Types of People by Gabe Foreman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

People who rely on stereotypes are often vilified. But really, is there a better way to classify people? There are some taxonimical difficulties, though. Exactly how many types of people are there? What behaviours are characteristic of each particular group? How do you know if you've spotted an armchair psychologist or a kleptomaniac?Gabe Foreman's A Complete Encyclopedia of Different Types of People is not your averagereference book. It turns a series of sociological case studies into a functional encyclopedia that doubles as a unique, achingly funny, always engaging collection of poems. 'Bridesmaids,' 'Day Traders,' 'Entomologists' and 'Number Crunchers' are all dutifully catalogued in a series of luminously strange, compellingly original lyric and prose poemsThe resulting field guide to our disparate humanity is often absurd, sometimes sad and frequently a mixture of both, as each entry unravels according to its own spidery logic. | A Complete Encyclopedia of Different Types of People by Gabe Foreman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
