Caught up with Dom Joly at the Groucho Club a couple of weeks ago to talk about his new book The Dark Tourist. In it he visits a bunch of places most people avoid – North Korea, Lebanon, Chernobyl, basically a wishlist of places I want to go.
We met up under the guise of me interviewing him for Wanderlust. That interview is up online now here.
The most surprising thing I learned? That he’d just broke his metatarsal doing Total Wipeout, my daughter’s favourite show!
This is where you'll find everything you need to know about me and my books.
I was just browsing in a discount bookstore a while back and saw a copy of his book for $10. So I grabbed it, and I’m very glad I did. Cracking read, couldn’t it down. Really interesting concept as well.
