false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180012802m/985114.jpg 203267 3 The award-winning <I>Are You Dave Gorman?</I> is the oddly touching story of how Perrier Award nominee Dave Gorman went in search of all the world's other Dave Gormans.<p> Fans of the TV version of this travelogue-cum-Arthurian-quest will know how it all began: one minute Dave and his flatmate Danny Wallace (himself a talented producer and writer) were kicking their heels in suburban London, the next they were on the night-train to Scotland to see assistant manager of East Fife Football Club David Gorman, so Dave Gorman could prove to Danny Wallace there were other Dave Gormans--and thereby win a drinker's bet. Such was the buzz Dave Gorman got from meeting Dave Gorman, he then went on a half year schlep around the world seeking out yet more Dave Gormans: in Ireland, Israel, Norway, America, with a sarcastically derisive Danny Wallace in constant and niggling attendance.<p> Things that work on TV--or start as drunken bets--don't always make the most successful of books and there are times when <I>Are You Dave Gorman?</I> seems a little contrived, not to say fatuously pointless. But such is the charm, candour, and wit of the two writers' alternating voices, any qualms come to seem churlish, if not thick-headed: it's the very frivolousness and absurdity of <I>Are You Dave Gorman?</I> that makes it so boyishly likeable. --<I>Sean Thomas</I> 196663 2001 Are You Dave Gorman? total:231|5:4|4:11|3:3|2:0|1:0| 231 972 303 18 203267 0091884713 9780091884710 222 18 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172645760m/203267.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203267.Are_You_Dave_Gorman_ 4 0 false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 00:39:09 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 04:25:23 -0700 2009
Why am I giving this 4 stars? I'm not entirely sure - the book doesn't work as a travelogue - details of the places are sketchy, as are the descriptions of the Dave Gormans they meet.
