Book description
Danny Wallace was bored. Just to see what would happen, he placed a
whimsical ad in a local London paper. It said, simply, 'Join Me'.
Within a month, he was receiving letters and emails from teachers,
mechanics, sales reps, vicars, schoolchildren and pensioners - all
pledging allegiance to his cause. But no one knew what his cause was.
Soon he was proclaimed Leader. Increasingly obsessed and possibly
power-crazed Danny risked losing his sanity and his loyal girlfriend.
But who could deny the attraction of a global following of devoted
joinees?
A book about dreams, ambition and the responsibility that comes with
power, Join Me is the true story of a man who created a cult by
accident, and is proof that whilst some men were born to lead, others
really haven't got a clue.
Award-winning journalist and producer Danny writes for many
publications, including The Independent and The Guardian. Part of the
original team behind the British Comedy Award-winning Dead Ringers, also
produced the acclaimed cult hit The Boosh, for Radio 4. BBC America
recently and bizarrely dubbed him 'one of Britain's most respected
journalists', but they were clearly mistaken. He's 25, and lives in an
old match factory in Bow.
