Danny Wallace has written two standalone novels, both set in London and both blending his trademark humor with stories about identity and connection. Charlotte Street (2011) follows Jason Priestley (not the actor), who finds a disposable camera on a London bus and becomes fixated on finding the woman in the photographs. It is a romantic comedy with Wallace’s characteristic observational humor.
Who is Tom Ditto? (2014) takes a stranger premise: a man discovers that someone else has been shadowing his life, making the same choices and visiting the same places. The book plays with questions about free will and individuality while keeping the tone light and funny. Both novels show Wallace applying his non-fiction instinct for following odd ideas to their conclusions.
