Praise for Nomad:
'Funniest book of the year' Sunday Telegraph

'Brilliantly funny' Marcus Brigstock
In ALAN PARTRIDGE: NOMAD, Alan dons his boots, windcheater and scarf and embarks on an odyssey through a place he once knew - it's called Britain - intent on completing a journey of immense personal significance.
Diarising his ramble in the form of a 'journey journal', Alan details the people and places he encounters, ruminates on matters large and small and, on a final leg fraught with danger, becomes - not a man (because he was one to start off with) - but a better, more inspiring example of a man.
This deeply personal book is divided into chapters and has a colour photograph on the front cover. It is deeply personal. Through witty vignettes, heavy essays and nod-inducing pieces of wisdom, Alan shines a light on the nooks of the nation and the crannies of himself, making this a biography that biographs the biographer while also biographing bits of Britain.
Customer Reviews
Not 'I Partridge' good, but good
Thoroughly enjoyed this read. Do seem to recall seeing the man himself on his pilgrimage through Pinner
An inside look at Partridge
Quite amusing with many notable anecdotes, Alan goes on a journey from Norwich to a power station his father had journeyed to about 50 years prior for a job interview!
Alan meets some interesting people along the way and talks to them in a way only Alan can do. Needless to say, he always has the last laugh. To sum it up I’d say this book is “Lovely Stuff”, something Shakin Stevens once said about another of Alan’s books, Bouncing Back.
Well worth the read!! 👍
One of the funniest books ever written.
The zenith of the literary Partridge canon. Utterly brilliant.
