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.

@dreamflesh @GurusPod I’m listening to “I, Nomad” by Alan Partridge right now 👌

Thread: I tried to get AI (Dall-E 2, specifically) to create the ridiculous ‘Footsteps Of My Father’ brand logo from the Alan Partridge book, Nomad. Let’s just say the results — much like Partridge’s original idea — leave much to be desired.

Alan Partridge’s Nomad gives you everything you’d expect from the doyen of the North Norfolk airwaves, including a very fine index. “God the Holy Spirit (not mentioned)” is a particular favourite. https://t.co/ZgMtLytkPA
