Join me is a story based on true events from the author Danny Wallace. Danny is an extremely positive and humorous writer, I'm not sure how much of it is an act, but he's a little naive in his positivity and I find it very appealing. Danny goes to Switzerland to attend a funeral for his late Uncle Gallus, who he's never met.
