Book description
The Lives Less Ordinary series brings you the most exciting,
adventurous and entertaining true-life writing that is out there, for
men who are time-poor but want the best. Lives Less Ordinary
drops you into extreme first-hand accounts of human experience,
whether that's the adrenaline-pumping heights of professional sport,
the brutality of the modern battlefield, the casual violence of the
criminal world, the mind-blowing frontiers of science, or the excesses
of rock 'n' roll, high finance and Hollywood. Lives Less
Ordinary also brings you some of the finest comic voices around,
on every subject from toilet etiquette to Paul Gascoigne.
Danny Wallace is a modern man. And that can be a very tricky thing
to be these days. By rather cleverly doing the opposite of what should
actually be done, let Danny show you how to catch your own fish for
dinner, be a social maverick, and rise up against everyone who lets
you down. And find out what 'I had a Nando's' really means.
This digital bite has been extracted from Danny Wallace's brilliant
book Awkward Situations for Men.
Danny's first solo book,
Join Me, was described as a 'word-of-mouth phenomenon' by
The Bookseller and 'one of the funniest stories you will ever
read' by the Daily Mail. His second book,
Yes Man - in which he decided to say 'Yes' to everything
- was described as 'hilarious' by several national newspapers. The
Warner Bros. film adaptation of Wallace's book
Yes Man, starring Jim Carrey in the lead role, was
released in December 2008 and grossed 0,000,000 worldwide. Danny's
third book
Friends Like These, described by The Bookseller as
'another comedy masterpiece' is currently in development as a major
project by Miramax. Danny Wallace is PPA's Columnist of the Year 2011.
Danny Wallace was recently shortlisted for PPA Columnist of the Year
for his weekly column in
Shortlist Magazine, 'Danny Wallace is a Man', which
formed the starting point for his book
Awkward Situations for Men. In 2010, American
television network ABC commissioned a pilot of
Awkward Situations for Men, starring Danny in the lead
role.
Danny lives in North London with his wife and baby. Find out more
