Gorman, Dave Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure
Ebury Press 2005 0-09-189742-4 / 9780091897420 Paperback Very Good
Four years ago, after locating 54 people who shared his name, stand-up comi c Gorman used that frivolous notion as the basis for an award-winning, one- man stage show and book (Are You Dave Gorman?). Specializing in comedic tra vel writing, he found an excuse for more globe-trotting when he began googl e-whacking, or typing two words (such as "Dork Turnspit") into Google's sea rch engine that would return only one result. Google-whacking constantly, h e began to meet other google-whackers, from Seattle to Sydney. Soon he had a new stage show, and this book, based on that show, probes his obsession w ith the word game while presenting the colorful cast of eccentrics he encou ntered--from a Beijing performance artist to the guy whose house is a shrin e to Mickey Mouse. Gorman's gift for siphoning silliness from any cubbyhole has an appeal for many (this book quickly became a U.K. bestseller), but n ot all readers will be ROTFLMAO ("rolling on the floor laughing my ass off" ), as per Internet jargon. The nomadic Gorman does manage to maintain a bre athless, high-spirited pace, offering an onslaught of amusing anecdotes and digressive detours along the way. 22 b&w photos.
