Dan Wallace comic author of Yes Man and Join Me turns his mind and body to finding the centre of the universe – which it appears is a manhole cover in a small town in America called Wallace! Offbeat and funny.
Danny Wallace and the Centre of the Universe Synopsis
Danny Wallace wanted to write about a place so special and so crucial to our existence that it had never before been tackled: the Centre of the Universe. But then he realised that getting there might be a problem, and when he did, there'd probably be nothing much to write about. Until he heard about a manhole cover, on a small street, in a small town, tucked away in a remote part of Idaho.
The manhole cover had been declared the Centre of the Universe. The mayor had the science to back it up.
The town rejoiced.
And the name of the town?
Wallace. It was a cosmic coincidence Danny couldn't resist…
