Book description
If someone called you a 'googlewhack' what would you do? Would you
end up playing table tennis with a nine year-old boy in Boston? Would
you find yourself in Los Angeles wrangling snakes, or would you go to
China to be licked by a performance artist?
If your name is Dave Gorman, then all of these things could be true.
Fuelled by a lust for life and a desperate desire to do anything
except what he's supposed to be doing (writing that novel and growing
up), Dave falls under the spell of an obscure internet word game -
Googlewhacking. Addicted to the game, and gripped by obsession, Dave
travels three times round the world, visiting four continents and the
unlikeliest cast of real life eccentrics you'll ever meet in what
becomes an epic challenge, a life-changing, globe-trotting Googlewhack adventure.
Dave Gorman, 31, is a Perrier Award-nominated comedian and writer.
His TV work has earned him two BAFTAs for The Mrs Merton Show as well as
his own two BBC2 series.
