Neville Lansdowne fell off the world.
Actually, he did not so much fall off as let go. The world had been moving so quickly lately and Neville was finding it almost impossible to keep up.
Doodling is an engaging comic fantasy which relates the events that befall Neville after he finds himself abandoned by the world and adrift in the middle of an asteroid field. Douglas Adams meets Lewis Carroll (with just a touch of Gulliver’s Travels) as Neville wanders through his new home, meeting a variety of eccentric characters and experiencing some most unexpected adventures.
Listen to me talking about Doodling with Bill Thompson at The Bookcast.
What reviewers are saying about it
Doodling by Jonathan Gould gives us a fantastically funny social satire that never takes itself too seriously.

I don't think I've ever described something as a "romp" before, but the word definitely applies to the experience of reading Doodling.

This is one of those short stories you read from start to finish with a big smile across your face……it was quirky, funny, imaginative, oddball and ingenious.

The writing is creative and perfectly paced—quite comparable to Lewis Carroll. The book is chockful of metaphors, if you care to notice them.

Doodling is an entertaining, light, yet deep novel. After first reading, it seems like just a quick fun romp through Gould’s imagination, but upon reflection layers of messages reveal themselves.

There is a lot of social satire in this book, as well as deeper philosophical meanings, and the dialogue is sparkling and very comical.

On the surface, it seems lighthearted, fun and not very serious at all. Look a little closer, however, and Doodling is full of surprises. And what remarkable surprises they are.

...absurd, quirky, breezy, fun and a total delight to read. It is also a witty little metaphor for today’s social climate, without being preachy or heavy-handed.
